firstone Posted 21April, 2020 Report Share Posted 21April, 2020 I'd spend 215k on an exhaust if it came with a blue GT4 cs. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get to a certain point money largely loses almost all relative value. Earning $1000 an hour every hour you are alive would take 114.16 years to become a billionaire assuming no tax. If you only worked a 38hr week, it'd take 506.073 years assuming you never took holidays. There is wealth, and then there is extreme wealth where almost anything that gets put in front of you you never even stop to think about the cost. I think it is half the reason they buy those ridiculous yachts, it is the only thing that makes them stop and think about the cost.

Stephen Tinker Posted 21April, 2020 Report Share Posted 21April, 2020 And then of course, if the company you "own" or maybe you are a director of a bank / multinational / oil cartel, then the cost impact is diluted because it doesn't actually belong to you, it is part of your remuneration package. So why would you give a toss if it costs $200 k …. Lucky bastards.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3legs Posted 23April, 2020 Report Share Posted 23April, 2020 OMG DJM that's twice in one day I agree with you. That's what I did when I bought the Boxster. Went to Buiks to discuss getting some work done on the 928 and drove home with the Boxster after he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Some choice words came out of her mouth but what could she do. Money was already transferred 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that a good price - what would it have cost in 2008?? ~$520k on the road + options Not particularly cheap given the circumstances ($50k over what these are normally listed at - collectors only). Not quite a Lambo - but starts with 'L'. Decent discount for a practically new car. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2019-lotus-exige-sport-410-manual-my20/SSE-AD-6606729/?Cr=12 DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend and forum member had owned one, after owning a 997.1 RS mind you... all of what you've said is common feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
