Very true, I actually made the same point in the "other" thread. My only stipulation was that it should be offered to the first buyer on that dealer's waiting list.

all i can say is thanks for the entertainment guys and glws! i'd be surprised if someone buys it for that price when they only need to wait a month or so to drive one off the dealer lot at msrp, but hey if someone does i guess that's their loss and your gain!

I actually called a couple people (ex-coaches, mentors, dad, etc.) to see what they thought and they all seemed cautiously for it as long as I could personally shoulder it financially. They don't expect me to contribute money to my family's situation, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't or can't. And it's not until you add the additional responsibilities does the purchase seem dumb and selfish. And was it? Probably. Especially since I didn't intend on selling it. But it was my decision and I went with it.


Thank you for at least asking an honest question and not making me feel like a piece of sh!t about all this.
Rmccoy, I was not going to get into this, but some of these comments are a little irritating. You don't have to explain yourself to anybody on this board. It is your car and if you sell it for a profit then congratulations!

I personally think it is smart. Recognizing an opportunity to make a profit an executing on that is how you make money last time I checked.
