Rich people pay for things to have them when they want them. $50k is nothing to someone worth millions upon millions. If that's what it takes for them to have the first gt3 of their crew they will do it. There's a good vinwiki about the founder selling a new GT2RS to a client for an absurd mark up but then the transporter fucked up and wasn't going to make the client's delivery date so the client cancelled just because it was going to be a day late and miss the event he wanted to bring the car to. We can't begin to understand what these people with obscene amounts of money think.

I know, I watched that video and was like  Huh

I get it, you want to have something to brag about to your buddies when you roll up before your tee time.  But yeah like G said, it's complete hype and I don't really have a problem victim-shaming people who tie up that money for years at a time for something that's really not that rare in the grand scheme of the automotive world.  I saw a few people on that original thread that said they had deposits put down for 1.5 to 2 years with some dealerships, and then others who said they were able to buy GTs without a deposit at their dealer.  If I ever become a ten or hundred millionaire+, I'm still not going to be the one who ties up my money for the chance to buy something.  If you're really to the point where money is no object and you want something that bad, you go convince someone to sell it to you directly and pay them what it takes for them to sell it.

Or like I said, you jump on Dupont Registry / Cars.com / Cargurus etc. and buy any one of the hundreds that are for sale right now Tongue
