I offered 260 for a Huracan with 9,000 - didnt happen.
Mines an 09. Stick. Pdk tt's are out of my price range. This will be my dd hopefully. Looking forward to it
IMO, this is the best option now. The car looks good, new model, dual clutch, NA engine. There is nothing bad about it. Another option is brand new 991.2 GT3 RS. Just make sure to get deposit refund if the engine is turbocharged. But IMO, Huracan looks way better.
I know its going to Huracan is going tank in a few months, I think 260 was a fair offer just 5% below their ask.
Just wait. Now dealers are thinking to sell to US' buyers only. But there is a cease fire going on in Syria, so oil price will up. Some more the Fed doesn't like the USD strength, because it's going up alone against all currencies.
I looked at tiptronic, even drove one, couldn't bring myself to do it. Felt like a big gt car. Stick is much more engaging. Wife wanted a stick too says no auto sports cars in our household
Canadian economics 101, kill the dollar ride the coattails of the U.S, economy, its been that way since the colonial days. Produce goods in CDN dollars and sell it into the U.S. market. Make an extra 30% on the exchange. Even if goods end up costing more in Canada. Hence you'll see Americans as tourists, at Whistler, etc. But you don't see them at our grocery stores shopping. now everyone in the world wants to play Canada's playbook! 3 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyCZTVapOnM We don't see the same at Canadian Costco's now. The problem with the drama teacher and his trained seals, like all liberals they raise the cost of living up so high, even a low dollar makes cross border shopping into America, makes sense. Even if our economy is booming, the majority of the population lives like they are in recession. That's why I've never voted for liberal scum bags, not their politics, its they are miserable to live under. Its supply and demand 101, cheap money increased the supply in both Canada and the U.S. dealers either need to cut prices or they wont survive.
The one group that does make a lot of money, is the accountants of the wealth creators! All the accountants I know that have $50 to $100million in cash, took equity when the company was worthless. The key to making money in any market is liquidity. The car dealers have too much inventory and no liquidity. The stock market is flat no liquidity! The Vancouver real estate market will soon have more sellers then buyers no liquidity.
Sounds like a lot of assumption "The car dealers have too much inventory and no liquidity" I don't think that's an accurate statement for all car dealers. Also, you must know a lot of accountants that were involved in start-ups.....
I usually keep an eye on whats for sale and noticed cars (scuds) which were listed at $240k - $250k less than 6 months ago (and not selling) listed at $299k now. Same with one or two 360's. The silver 2003, 3 pedal spider with racing seats was $129k - $139k last June and its listed at $167k (again not selling) Not just limited to F Cars either - I noticed the same with 07-10 Porsche GT3's Although I did notice that Gallardo's are staying steady or even dropping.
Every dealer I spoke to on the market says the same story "just nothing on the market". Which I dont understand, there is everything I could want in the market. 20 Huracan's (2015) is a LOT of cars to choose from especially with 2016/ spider and rear wheel variant coming out soon. FRUSTRATING!
Where do you see 20 Huracans for sale in the Canadian market? It's easy to understand why they are crying as tonnes of product is heading south which leaves little available here for dealers to buy. There is some truth in what these guys are saying...
Not just the cars. Almost every thing rises. Our dollar must be low or our industries go under plain and simple. When the majority of consumer good come from the U.S. our prices are always high. Once things normalize, even with the low dollar compared to the U.S., cross border shopping make sense its been this way since the beginning of Canada. Canada is a small market to survive all our industries must export, mainly to the U.S. Well the U.S. and our new gravy China are not buying our main exports, natural resources. Oil and gas is dead, you do realize to be profitable oil needs to be well above $60 because we sell Canadian oil at a heavy discount to make it worthwhile for Americans to import it, while American oil is around $35 ours is at $15. Canadian crude discount adds to Alberta's oil patch woes - The Globe and Mail Canada will always be a second rate western country, the problem with liberals in charge even when things are good the population lives like we are recession.
This is bang on, there are some 2014 Roadsters going for 459 after a 40k price drop and another after a 130k price drop! There is a about a 50k difference between hardtop vs roadster. So to ask for 400 for a 2012 makes no sense to me.
Just to give you guys some market intel 2013 Mclaren 12c (Spyder) 10,000 Kms Sold : 220K 2015 McLaren 650s (Spyder) 10,000 Kms Sold: 330K 2015 Lambo Huracan (Decent Options): 8,000kms Ask: 275 Was very surprised to see the 12c go for so cheap considering 2012 (coupes) are around 220.
650S spider for 330K is BLOODY expensive. Better get 458 spider, 150% more fun. For one year used Mclaren with less than 10k kms, the depreciation is AT LEAST $100k. Except special edition like LT or P1.
Everything in Canada is a rip off and chickens are finally coming home to roost on an economy built on money lending and selling tar sands nobody wants anymore.
