Only $190k!

Actually, I'm rather curious about this. Why is this man listing his certain future-classic on freaking Craigslist? Did the dealership give him a crappy quote on a trade-in? The mind fairly boggles...

So he's asking $50000 over that just to avoid being stuck with an awesome but depreciated car?

Clearly CP but looks pretty sweet in that white.

He probably paid $100000 over (they went as high as $250k) , and is now trying to get rid of it before depreciation hits him too hard.

MOTHER OF GODZILLA!

But seriously, these things are gonna be the new Enzo's in 10-20 years, and he's a dumbass for buying a car for the investment value alone.

Ah well, 10-20 years is a long time. Itīs always a gamble with these kinds of investments.

In the 70īs , people thought the V12 Jaguar XJ Coupe was also going to become a future classic (like the E type). Now you can buy one with pocket change...

And I agree, cars should be enjoyed!

Higher than it should be. I thought it was somewhere around the $130k mark, but I could be wrong on that.

$180K car on CL? Seems wrong.

You mean you don't have a spare $190k laying around?

I was talking about the MSRP ;)

Well, I have to wonder if the guy will ask interested parties to meet him in a wal-mart parking lot with cash only.....

The allocations for i8s are all sold out until BMW really ups the production numbers. It's still CP.
