BTW need I remind you that the 911 shares 50% of its parts with the Boxster. Yet the cost after options etc. usually is almost twice as much. That my friends is how you make the money Porsche makes on its cars. Buyer be damned!

AND YET...buyers continue to buy. Last week at the Porsche dealership they had a white 997GT3 on the floor with a MSRP of $140,000.

Later in the day it was sold to an older woman and the salesperson had to take her for a ride to show her how to operate the car.

Alan, US Ferrari dealers get very few cars and to survive they need to resell each car almost 4 times. That is what exclusiveness does. However, Ferrari clients benefit because their cost of ownership is almost nil.
