Money laundering through car dealerships makes the news now and then, and this would be one way to do so without looking too flashy.

I much prefer to walk in a small BMW dealer and say ... "I will buy all the Z4 on your lot right now. (if you only have 3, maybe 4 if deals can be made)" ...
LOL

2020 Supra for... $200,000
A local dealer is holding an absolute auction for chassis #129 of the 1,500 in the launch edition.
And the dealer isn’t making $1 past MSRP. That’s because all proceeds above the MSRP will be donated to 2 different non-profit organizations. 50% of those proceeds will go to the local County Education Foundation and the other 50% will go to a non-profit chosen by the buyer. https://web.cummingforsythchamber.or...n-4372/details And who knows you might even get a kiss from the owner... The car doesn’t look bad either... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Why would you wait years for this when you could have the real deal?

Styling is very much about individual preference.
I like it although I'd prefer it without the non-functional vents/scoops/air intakes. Seems like they may be priced a bit high for the US market, although here in Australia we are used to being ripped-off on imported vehicles.

IMHO, if someone will not miss the money, and it does not adversely effect their life or their finances, I would say that they are probably smarter than the rest of us. Money is just something to buy things with. Wether it be a home, security, or a retirement, it is simply a means to an end. And you can't take it with you. I think the person enjoying life instead of obsessing over money/cost is actually far smarter than the person coveting money. I picture a lot of people like Golem coveting the ring.... You read all the time about people dying early in life. Or someone dying with millions in the bank, but lived a meager life. Personally, I say enjoy it. Now, if the person spending that kind of money, wether it is MSRP or market value, does not have their finances in order...well, in that case, I agree that is not the smartest move. But if it doesn't effect anything, I say have at it. In regard to this car, I like it. I do not like it enough to buy it, even at a discount, but I still do admire it. Now the new GT500 is coming out and the dealer markups are also nuts. And that car I absolutely LOVE. But I still would not pay a 30k$ markup. To each their own. And everyone has a different perspective and circumstance. Personally, I'd love to meet the person that buys this car. I expect they are a true baller and their next vacation will likely cost about the same as the car and the markup.

That car is not in the least bit worth 200k
