Then that is a different story. But this dealer is holding an auction on a new Z8. I don't see a problem with that, unless someone has already signed for it and the dealer is taking it off his hands.


We are not talking about selling a car which is technically "used" for more than msrp. Your right if someone wants to pay that much, let them. But its a whole different story when you are the initial buyer and have put down deposits on the agreed upon price and then a week before the car comes the dealer gets greedy and tries to gouge you on your car. They figure you've been waiting two years and if you can afford 130 you can afford 200. Its more a matter of principle than the money.


Is selling your house over the appraisal price greedy? Is selling your stock over an analyst's target price greedy? Why can't these BUSINESSMEN sell the cars at WHAT THE MARKET IS WILLING TO PAY LIKE EVERY OTHER COMMODITY IN THE FREE ENTERPRISE WORLD? If you can get the car at MSRP, more power to you. But whining like a baby because there are people out there who are either a) RICHER than you b) are WILLING to pay more than you for a Z8. GROW UP.


Greetings to all:
I'm a BMW Salesman whose employer is holding a sealed bid auction on its one Z8 allocation this year. The car is silver/black and will be produced in September. I am accepting SEALED bids on this vehicle starting at $200,000.oo. A $10,000.oo deposit is required to weed out pretenders. Of course all transactions will be through the BMW dealership--you are not buying someone elses place in line or anything strange like that. Bids will remain sealed until the car is on the showroom floor. (I'm sure there will be some kind of "unsealing party" or something like that) All unsuccessfull bid deposits will then be quickly refunded.
Please contact Jeff at 757-640-1457(Home) or 757-406-5030 (Mobile) Many thanks and happy bidding!
