For $3,000 more, you can find one with about 20-25,000 less on the odo. Hell, I just cleaned up a '05 GTC Coupe that the dealer sold for $75,000 & it only had 16,000 miles on it.
Anyone who wants to own Ferrari's latest supercar should already have 20 to 30 Ferraris in his collection, Ferrari North America CEO Marco Mattiacci said Wednesday. Fame alone cannot secure someone a spot on the very short list for the car, LaFerrari. It takes devotion to the brand.
Asked if Barack Obama could buy the car, estimated at $1.3 million, Mattiacci said maybe. But he noted that several very high profile people have already requested one and been turned down.

Don't have any recent pictures of our Avant, so I'll just post one of the old ones.
Anyway, so Audi finished the work on the car last Friday. The service note says they removed and replaced pistons / crank seal / tensioner.
They did give us a little frustration on the first day regarding loaner car, but they did step it up and gave us the loaner on the next day. Finished all the work within 3 days. Everything was covered by the warranty.
The car only has 35,000 miles after 50 months from the day of the purchase from the same dealership. Never had any problem whatsoever until this engine oil consumption issue which was fixed right away. The only thing we paid extra was a new set of tires. Everything else has been covered by $400 Audicare package we purchased with the car.
The car is fun to drive, looks pretty sexy, and hauls a lot of groceries in the back.
We are planning to keep the car 2-3 more years. My wife still loves the car a lot. She wants a S6 Avant if Audi ever release it in the States.

I wish it were real.. 
I have a family friend that bought a mint Acura Legend from a patient of hers. Hardly 10k miles on it at the time (10 years ago), for only $4k. It's no RX7, but it was beautiful. There are still deals out there. Heck I look all the time, I'm sure there are plenty of wives pissed at their (ex-)husbands, wanting to get rid of their shit for free.
