My Ride: 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S Convertible. Midnight Blue, 6 Speed.Retired - 2007 997 Carrera S, Midnight Blue, Grey leather, premium audioRetired - 2007 550i, Monaco Blue over Beige, Navigation, Logic 7, Cold Weather Pack, Comfort Access, Sport Package
Model Year: 2008
Dropped by my dealer on the way home from work tonight, they had a couple of M6's on the floor. Both reasonably loaded with 10K or so in options, sting in the tail was the 25K "market adjustment" taking both to over 130K. On the whole I'm all for the free market principles of fools and their money being soon parted but 25K??

I saw one in Las Vegas stealership with a mark up of 30k for M6 and 10k mark up for M5. They havent sold it in two months so I hope no one buys these cars at those prices that way the dealership will start selling them at MSRP
What person would pay 30k mark up because when you go to resale you lost 30k on top of normal depreciation?
