It was a joke! Are kidding me? I only wish I could afford this car. It only costs 10 times what I am paying for my IS at a whopping $455,000

Autohouse in Plano. They have two of them and that one was sold. Park Place has one as well.

I didn't buy it, but the salesperson told me they were selling for $750,000 (300k over) when they first came out, but now the market has gotten soft for them here and they sold that one at sticker.

I know. Just making sure. I was actually surprised the thread got moved from the IS forum.

Sweet car though. I was actually very surprised the salesperson grabbed the key and let me sit in the car after it was already sold.

The seats were stiff as a brick and very uncomfortable.

Nah, the SLR is too ugly for a supercar, plus I already have an even more expensive Mercedes supercar at home, the CLK-GTR, it cost a million bucks :









it's sitting on my shelf at home
