Can you lease swap your NSX?
My question is, what is the ultimate goal? If it’s about the drive, then choose the car you like driving the most.
If it’s about value retention, it’s hard to look past the special cars from any marquee. A 997 GT3/GT2 is a special Porsche, but a Huracan is not a special Lambo. A California is far from a special Ferrari…it is arguably the least special F car in memory, going back all the way to the Mondial (those bottomed out at like 30k for a nice one and in the 20s for a mediocre one).
The 991 GTx cars about to take a hit from a newer and technically better model arriving; the 997s have taken that hit and bottomed out or come very close. Plus they will always have the allure of having the Mezger engine, mechanical steering, three pedals, etc.
992 gen 911 is still some time away.
I love your logic, you should buy my '15 458 
I’m at the most difficult part of this process right now… THE SALE
Theoretically this can work considering your tax advantage. Keep in mind exotics are extremely sensitive to mileage resale wise, especially Ferrari.
purchased car for $230,000 in July of '17 with 5800 miles
TTL approximately $20,700
$4800 of interest over 1 year
current realistic market with 7200 miles $219,000
NET LOSS $36,500 or $3041 monthly payment
take sales tax out the math looks pretty good for you approx $1450 per month (keep in mind I only drove this car 1400 miles)
Selling VW must be quiet lucrative.

It has been quiet on the showroom today 
I look at 2015 458’s online and I see pricing from $175k to $430k…why such the large spread?? See https://www.iseecars.com/used-car-finder#Location=07630&Radius=all&Make=Ferrari&Model=458+Italia&Year_min=2015&Trim=&Condition=used&_t=a&maxResults=15&sort=Price&sortOrder=asc&lfc_t0=MTUzMjI4MzIyMDk3NQ%3D%3D
high mileage/salvage cars all the way up to the Speciale I would think…
Get a wholesale dealer license. Buy your cars at auction, drive them, and either sell them retail or dump them back into the auction.
The real answer is a 3 part question. 1st part is the price you buy the car for will determine where you stand later on. The 2nd part is the time of year you buy the car. And the 3rd part is the car you choose. All of these work in conjunction.
The reality is you could probably find the best deal on a Huracan, but it is also the worst on depreciation.
The Porsche GT3 RS will hold value the best with the Ferrari 458 being the next best.
With the Porsche GT3 RS is the question…Is it really more exotic than the NSX?
If you truly want to pull off what you are talking about you should make the purchase going into the winter. Get a car that someone is looking to dump at a cheap price. Drive the car then sell it end of spring into the summer when the prices are at highs.
As a generality I think most, if not all cars sourced thru leasehackr site is going to put us light years ahead of if cars are purchased. After stacking high residuals, lease cash, and money factors you can literally lease two cars and still be cheaper than buying and selling one single car 36 months later.
But on used exotics, banks in general don’t know whether their assets are “sound” and second, not many people doing it except for specialized financing institutions that amount to high interest rates.
So especially for the used ones i think its better to do an outright purchase/finance.
I read an article somewhere and I believe there’s an Instagram group dedicated to this type of high end flipping. Your esstienally buying low enough so that the margin for when you sel high covers your depreciation. If I find the Instagram group or website where I first saw this mentioned I’ll edit it in.
There’s a bunch of teen white boys doing this in Florida on YouTube… seems like started with parents $ tho. Saw the vidz yesterday… interesting. Supposedly last month he found a 2013 Maserati GT MC centennial for 41k at a Porsche dealer. Dealer didnt know it was MC… so they expect to flip for 55-60k in the near future.
MC Stradale? That price sounds cheap. Good find!
Curious to see what this is. Sounds pretty cool!
yeah this is it
You have to subscribe to some course to get their information. Does anyone know anyone that’s subscribed or does this on the regular?
i think you are referring to http://www.exoticcarhacks.com I don’t know of their methods since you have to pay.

That’s another site as well that claims people can buy exotics and sell them for no loss or even profit once they are done.
Pretty sure the only ones making a profit are the ones selling those courses
