The same argument could have been made for all of those Ferraris while they were in production...chuckle...and numerous other examples (brands and products) if you need more "chuckle^2" to use your term again! ;-)

Perhaps you are not familiar with the Ferrari market...but it was clear the Aperta la Ferrari would be worth quite a bit over MSRP. Same with the 911R...and yes..same with the 5711...seems quite easy to come up with examples of things that the market decides should trade over manufacturer MSRP. From a few % to many% as the market dictates..

The market is typically smarter than both me and you.. unless you were the one paying a few % over MSRP for a 5711 could be had for that or less a few years ago only to be now selling for +100% now!

Now if you had done that you could have a well deserved and more rewarding chuckle..

The difference I see is that the 5711 is still available to anyone prepared to wait, the cars on the other hand were NEVER available to anyone but a very select few.
