Doesn’t matter what Mud does can’t make a performance model a proto! Going to have to buy one!

@Mud I hear that you're starting up a counterfeit car operation.

Totally agree, my Peugeot was collectable (500 world wide made…only around 200 left) I can tell you I didn’t get back what I paid even in this market….and our Lotus esprit (exactly like James Bond drove) was the same.

If you are buying it just to make money then you are buying for the wrong reason… and the way things are shaping up… the rosewood auto will probs be more collectable.

Probably not . Distracted by my mobile device Just wish all the Discussion about Proto’s would be more positive. I get that they don’t have as many unique add on’s as some would wish. At least Nissan is trying to create some excitement with a limited release without breaking the bank. I think the Dealer ADM markups has caused a lot of the negativity on the Proto.

The latest from the Gwinett Dealer in GA:



Hello Pendragon,

So far the highest bidder we have is $15k mark up. So unfortunately I can't do $8k. If you can do better than $15k I can go to management to see if they would consider?

Hahahahaha, oh man. This is priceless. Congrats to whomever is paying the 15k over. I hope you enjoy it! I don't fault or judge you, it's just not something I'm willing to do.

This is no different than what is happening with the Corvette C8. Just Simple
Economics. Supply and Demand. I hope they go for 100k plus. The higher they are sold for the less likely they will be flipped. And the more likely they will hold a higher value.

I quite clearly understand consumerism and Capitalism. If the market continues to dictate, then why would the dealers not charge the inflated prices? An item is always worth what someone is willing to pay for it, not an arbitrary number that the manufacturer dictates.

If you want to pay 100k, please feel free to do so. I choose to invest that additional 50k for an almost certainly much better return then blowing it on vehicle I value at much less.

In the end, my point still stands. I don't judge or Pidgeon hole an individual based on their own monetary decisions. It's just not for me.

I'm seeing C8s sitting on lots in northern VA. Two dealers so far.

To small a Sample.

I just find it odd that ANY are on lots based on the demand. Especially in this area where people daily drive super cars.

They made/are making an absolute crap ton of them. The numbers are mind boggling and make them not so special (IMHO)

Going to be a bunch of used ones for sale as the Z06 gets out there too. Bet 90% of Z06 buyers have a c8 now

How much are they asking?

We have cars on lots here too. For between 30-75% markups.

Can't believe they'd be sitting there at MSRP

 

[therumblewagon]

Similar here.

The dozen or so of used C8's (some actually used, i.e. with several thousand miles on them, and of course there's one with like, 7 miles that's being sold as "used") within my immediate vicinity are still going for north of 100k. Some of which have been for sale at those bonkers prices for awhile now, too, and yet the dealers still think someone will bite. I don't get it.

Anyway, I'm hoping people don't actually convert on these astronomical Proto markups, but I'm sure I'll be proven wrong. A few, fine. Just don't let it be the norm.

No clue. I'm gonna stop by when I have time and check it out.
