Would you buy an Elise (new or used) if it was being sold to you today at MSPR?
The reason I ask is because I've seen some thread like "The Elise that won't Sell" or "First Non-List Car Sold at MSPR." So I'm thinking, if the bubble has really burst, then there shouldn't be so many people still waiting on the list. Scottsdale said their list was still in the 100s, and assuming 1/2 (50) are speculators who are on other lists, that still leaves 50 other people waiting for their cars.
And, since people are waiting for their cars, there must be a strong demand. So, I'm trying to figure out why waiters aren't jumping on cars (new or used) that are selling at MSRP or slightly over.
My answer: I was close enough to wait. And if my delivery was a year away, I'd probably have gotten something else and picked up an Elise in two years.
