It is weird that we are starting to see these cars chill for a moment. Possibly people are saving there coins to try and fetch a 3 RS..??

I agree that many people paying 130K for a vehicle would rather order one to their specs, including myself. But there are plenty of buyers not willing to wait 4, 6, 12+ months to have one built. Here in southern texas it is over a year just to be able to order one.

Cheers.

i agree-paying over list makes no sense.

Gotta be a catch with this deal, too good for zero bids. At the 130k mark I want the car exactly how I want it, heated seats and all.

i don't disagree, chris, but in august, there would have been a bidding war on this car.

'timing is everything' .......

I think the market as well as the weather has cooled. It's tough enough just looking at our toys sitting in the garage. Imagine looking at a 130k turbo that's 'not exactly the way you would spec it'............

I would wait..... there will be cars available in the Spring
