With no paddles shifters or LSD the auto GT is the least value for money. But given how quick they disappear off carsales they seem to be popular too.

Wow, expensive!! But that’s the thing, some people will happily pay the extra for immediate delivery. Doesn’t make much sense to me!!

Did he force you to buy it? Is that how you got ripped off? Mines worth $120 000. Want to buy it? It's manual

from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rip+off
1.an act or instance of ripping off another or others; a theft, cheat, or swindle.

2.exploitation, especially of those who cannot prevent or counter it.

There is no rip off here. It is inflated price but no one is being forced to buy the car. I would be more inclined to make fun of someone buying the car than a business try to make money given the opportunity.

Well, all he needs is someone to be ignorant of the RRP, or willing to pay to have a car straight away. Its a free market. Wont be me though.

TMCA will not be very pleased. They sent out a bulletin to all dealers just after the launch specifying in no uncertain terms that the vehicles are NOT to be sold above RRP.

I award his courage for trying to take advantage of the good ol' supply vs demand debacle; and there will almost certainly be someone out their prepared to pay an excess for immediate delivery.
