Can you say too much money

The car lists new under 100g fully loaded. And this guy wants 129g with 30 miles on it screw that. Ill take a 911 Turbo and bank the extra 15g I am saving. Also, if I am gonna buy a new car, its gonna have <7 miles on it.

I'm confused...

I loaded one up (click every check box I could) and it came out the 115K!

His reserve starts at 115k! Only benefit I see here is the luxery tax/gas guzzler is already paid. If you could get it for 115K. (reserve not met)

$115K!!! You can put 30g worth of options on an Sl500!? Base price on those puppies are 86k. Thats crazy.
Options below for the car are:
Navi
Sport Package
Comfort Package
Metallic Paint
Bi-Xenons
That cant be 115K
oh, and the reserve is at 129K, 115K is just where it is now.

Economics lesson:

When demand exceeds supply, the price should increase to allocate the good efficiently

no one even made reserve bid(and i don't blame them) I don't even think if i was super rich(like worth millions) I'd pay 30 grand to get a car 6 or 9 months early(as to wait at the dealer) (plus if I buy that car and have any problems and it MIGHT be the my fault the local dealer more likely to "go to bat" for me vs if I bought it on e-bay and took it into the shop. I know sometimes you pay a little more but in the long run it might save your tail.)

Hey, there is someone in here who says you don't need to have much money to get in to one of those cars... he told me AMGs don't cost 100g's and that all one needs is a job with a fortune 50 Co. to secure one of those, no kidding.

It may have been Enron... no. 5
That one guy that killed himself in his car... it was a Benz.
