Extra 50k to walk around telling yourself you got 1 of 240, and the entire rest of the world not giving a shit.

I will own one, but not today, and not the proto. Hell the locals are telling me if I'm not interested in the proto then they only expect the performance to be marked up about 10k.

Pass.

So glad I got my Volvo direct from Volvo. No dealers. No markup. The price quoted was the price I paid.

Long term one of 240 is collectible. Assuming you don’t drive and mod the crap out of it. So I see some value in ADM. but if I was buying a daily driver heck no I would wait and wait till MSRP or less.

Pullup the Z on Autotrader nationwide search and there's 9 Protos advertised today, a handful of them advertised at MSRP of $54K, but I guess you'll have to go into the dealership to be slapped with the cold hard reality of add-ons and ADM. This listing actually makes you think you'll be paying less than MSRP because it has a line through that price and says to check with them for qualified discounts...lol!

That’s all BS advertising as we all already know. Get in here and we will kick you in the balls with ADM and market pricing etc etc dealership antics!!!

Here's a Proto listed at Performance Nissan at MSRP and also says it's a recent arrival (blatant lie to get you to come in, right, because all Protos are still intrasit). Check out all the arbitrary fees listed, basically they reserve the right to pile drive you into the ground with fees...and also you must finance through them or "lose $2K in discounts"...wow...scum bags.

I don't know why people are OK with ANY kind of mark up.
No one is …just like my food and gas prices. It’s the same price increase just a different medium/process of increasing/collecting it.

Human reaction to scarcity. Evolutionary baggage. Could probably get some folks to buy dog poop, if convinced it was in demand and hard to get. :)

"Get it before it's too late" is a common marketing ploy as old as the hills. Scarcity and exclusivity can be big draws depending on the person.
