I don't think that you could ever have too much money.

I agreee , but if you have a lot you may be inclined to do silly things with it ...

+1 i would be one of those people quite possibly

**ss~zoso~ss** · 08-11-2006, 11:55 AM

buy it now is only 20 K, does that mean if you choose that option you get it automatically, cuz u know it will be like 30 k when it comes out

Seems silly to me. But maybe it wouldn't be so silly if I was like, 65 years old now (a 20-something when the Camaro came out), couldn't afford one but wanted one back then and am now worth like $20+ mil.

but if you had worked hard for your money you would not just blow it like that , because you would know after a few months they would be down to a pretty normal price ...

I agree, but also recognize what I think is silly may not be silly to someone else. This topic is the perfect example, I think it is silly to pay a roughly 65% markup from msrp for that car. The person shelling out the cash on the other hand, doesn't (at least you would hope not.)

This purchase, if anyone chooses to pay that much over msrp, will be because having it before anyone else is worth the 20K to the buyer.

Don't get me wrong, even if I were a billionaire, I would wait the few extra months to get the price that I think is more reasonable. Keep in mind there are going to be people out there that think paying the 30K this car is likely to have as the msrp will be far too much. It is all a matter of priorities.

When I referred to someone paying a premium for the first, I was not referring to it being the first camaro. Rather I was suggesting that someone would be willing to pay a premium to be the "first on the block" to have one.

hey its got 2 bids .... but to pay $20k extra ....for a car you wont see for 2.5 years ????
