Exactly.

I can imagine a typical scenario, whereby weathy middle-class "self-made" men had planned to get 50 grand added onto each of their three investment properties to get a W427. With the turn in credit access, this option has come to an end for the majority. Even if there was only 10 people like that in every state (on average), there is 80 units alone.

Then you look at the slump in super and you could imagine that number again as retiree's look to consolidate and rebuild.

I said it before and i'll say it again, great car in theory, but 50K overpriced........ especially in Panoramic silver.
