    They don't have any new cars in stock @ MSRP, it's just the way they choose their wording for the ad that is confusing people.

    Although MSRP for those cars may be considered low pricing they must be making up for their losses on the Mondial t Cabs. They have two listed at $59,900 each; doesn't sound a bargain to me, let alone an unprecedented one.

    Exactly, they always place their ad just like that. What they mean is msrp for the people on the list.

    I know a way for you to test this theory and to put your money where your mouth is. Post an ad here offering to buy a clean, well maintained ____ for (insert your definition of incredible deal here) that must past ppi to assure no major immediate outlay is needed for engine, gearbox or major body repair, and see just how many leap to your door. For my money I'd go ahead insert Daytona and (120k) or 355 (and 40k) or 328 (at 25k) in those blanks if you really want to test it. I know I'd be happy to buy any of those cars at those prices. I'll bet you hear crickets chirp.

    That site is not offering any existing 2008 inventory of those cars listed...read the listing carefully...it's telling you to ORDER a 2008 car.

    I don't think they do. This was the way they had their ad years ago when the 360 and f430 came out and they didn't have any open slots. Best thing would be to call them, but some dealers have slots for the new California I think.

    Many dealers have available cars but the last thing they are going to do is advertise the fact. They have to maintain the mystique. Call around if you desire a car.

    Did you ask how used? In the past it has not been unknown for dealers to sell and repurchase cars through straws in order to avoid issues arising from selling new cars above MSRP. In a soft market these "used" cars may be offered again at MSRP.

    Not according to the vin# counts...Besides most dealers can only sell new cars in there own demo region...

    In a soft market when dealers need to sell the wholesale auctions (manheim) and the networks (ilux, thalist) fill up with the soft cars..like right now, Mercedes Benz, Range Rover and such, they are dime a dozen..dealers need out..on the other side 14 430's are listed right now, one is a broker listing and the other 13 are cars needed..and dealers are still paying up...
