So to answer the OP's question, no to me it makes no sense to pay over MSRP for a piece you can purchase new. The wait is part of the ownership experience. Clearly many don't value anything but actual ownership and to them the market price of ownership might well make sense - you only have to read the Rolex thread about AD's to see how many no longer value the AD relationship (which is very sad). Anything no longer produced is a totally different scenario and clearly you HAVE to pay market price - which is the case with all the cars you list.
I dont think this is wholly accurate - ive reached out to over 20 AD’s and none would take my name or a deposit...

So, its not just a question of ‘waiting’.
