I guess you could ask sellers or dealers — but that’s my point. It seems like they’re basing the price of their car on on CS’ that are comparably priced, but have sitting for months.

This is also coming from someone in the market to buy one, so you could also take it as me bitching a little ha

Best strategy is to have ur money ready, move quickly and don’t be afraid to slightly overpay ~$2 to 3 k ish for the right car. A few bucks won’t matter if ur making a long term purchase and you want a low mileage clean car.

Yeah, no more deals it seems. I think you just have to be okay spending more $$$ than you had planned for.

Probably true to just go after something that you really like.

However, on the other hand it rarely feels good to "overpay." But it's really how you look at it, just like anything else in life. Maybe it isn't overpaying if you get what you want.

Then again if you have the money to overpay on a used car you probably have the money to order a new one in the exact spec you want, also.

Yeah you're 100% right. When I bought mine I was very strict on what I was looking for, and I was ready. I was prepared to pay a bit more because of the low miles (13k). I actually ended up going to my max bid amount and I'm happy that I was the one "ready", and the other bidders weren't.

After purchase I was a bit bummed that I ended up at my max bid but when I picked up the car I found that it was 100% PPF (even the fuel door), that eased the pain a bit LOL.

That modded LRG is titties. CCBs, nice taste in mods and low mileage. Love the steering wheel. Is that just a CS wheel with CF trim? Or did they paint the silver Y section black?

It's a CS steering wheel with the inner carbon trim replacement on the stock leather trim.

They swapped the inner trim from a non-cs wheel and kept the CF part? The black section surrounding the cf?

The CS steering wheel comes with the stock leather steering wheel trim all F8x come with, what was replaced was just the inner silver trim on the leather trim. Which people usually swap out for the full M Performance Carbon Steering Wheel Trim. This is what was replaced.

Can I buy just the inner interior CF part? Would like to replicate that look with my
stock leather or just buy a CS wheel.

That wheel just looks so much blacker than all the other ones I have seen. Daddy like.

Passenger side lip looks torn up too. That paint is hard (impossible?) to fix — probably why it’s below 70
