Did you add any risk premiums to the equation? I don’t know about your area but in any city I lived in, there’s a 10% chance of some sort of issues on a bus. Shame…

This is another type of insanity. Could buy 2 full size SWB RR granted no markup at this price

I know of a few dealer principals that play it safe by listing their personal cars in inventory for obscene prices. This allows them to continually drive on a dealer tag since the car is technically ‘for sale’. Plausible excuse for leveraging a dealer tag in the event the tax man comes knocking for registration/tax evasion.

Perhaps one of those scenarios because surely no one is paying that much for a Tahoe with a blower (or at least I hope).

I mean stupidity has different levels. A dude I know went to MA to buy a suburban and paid an 11k markup. :grinning:

I’ve seen the v for $150k. Honestly in this market not a bad deal if you’re in that price range. Things dope.

Scratch that. That’s the msrp. They’re 30k over at least :joy:

You forgot about the no resale clause they make you sign
Probably why we haven’t seen one flipped yet

What do they do? Ban you like Ferrari? I’d gladly take a GM ban for $50k.
