I suspect every speculator with an extra few thousand has signed up for a car hoping to sell the position as order and delivery time draw close, don't you think? Why not start callilng dealers yourself? 200 dealers nationwide, 4-5 calls a day.

 

It's happened before with these so called exclusive cars that the must-haves paid IMO, a ridiculous premium, it will happen again. Mark my words, 08/01/2008, 100k. I will bring this thread back this time next year, then we'll see if I'm right or wrong. Porsches aren't Ferrari's, even the CGT dropped 100k within 18 months. That would never happen with an F-car and never has. Hell, they wanted 20 and 30 over for the first 997 turbos and the must-haves paid it. 140k plus 30 over. Now you can get a slightly used 997tt (under 5k miles) for 115k. 50k loss in less than a year. No Thanks.

 

F cars with 12 cylinders have a history of painful depreciations. Probably will be the same with the 599 in a year or so, as soon as the F460 is out.

BTW, I was just at Downtown LA Porsche today. They had a black RS in the showroom, with both a tag asking $75K over, and a tag that said" Please do not open. Sold car".

 

Ill bet you $100 that when you revive this thread in a year, RS's will not be as low as $100k.

Talk about 12 cylinder depreciation, have you seen Vanquish prices?? (Sorry about the mini hijack). 2006 Vanquish S for 190ish, 2002-2004 115-125

They are beautiful cars, and sound AWSOME!

 

O.K. give me a little wiggle room and it's a bet. If I can find one for less than 107k by 08/30/2008 I win, if not, I'm out a hundred. Do you except paypal?

 

Paypal works. Under $105k by 7/21/08.

 

Hey I guess, "You only live once" and "It's only money" would apply to the purchaser of that car

 

A counter offer? Maybe you're not so sure, I feel like I'm playing poker. C'mon dude, 107k before 08/30/2008.

 

I am not sure? You said below $100k in a year and when your expert prediction skills were challenged you made a counter offer. I gave you a $5k buffer to be nice.

 

You guys need to specify: no damage history plus a mileage limit, plus a geographic area and a price available publicly.

My guess is that it won't be that much under list, but they will be under.

 

In North America, under 10k miles, no damage, available to the public, less than 107k by 08/30/2008. For the record, I never said under 100k, I said a 100k. I agree I'm a little unsure, that's why I am asking for the 7k bump.

 

I'll take that bet. $50k to make it interesting?

 

Sorry dude, I am pretty sure, but I'm not 50k sure.

 

$100. Done. Hope I lose, 'cause I'll buy the car.
