16.5% buyers premium should earn the auctioneers a nice bit of coin..

Depending on what you call "insane", I don't think it will go for too much. There's a 2015 XR8, auto, with around the same kays on it as this one that has been advertised on carsales since early 2021. It's asking price was $90k back then, but I see that has been upped to $115k.

As much as I love the FGX XR8 that asking money is Sprint expectations.
Can't see a XR8 getting over $100k but its huge plus its a manual but there's always someone willing to over spend at times..

I like his logic; it doesn't sell for $90k, must seem too cheap to be true, add $25k to the asking price.....

It works, years ago was trying to sell a car for 7K, had it for sale for weeks on end without luck, put price up to 9K got an offer for 8K a day later that I reluctantly accepted. Only wanted 6K realistically hence listing for 7 in the first place.
