Tempting, but with "dealer market price adjustments" you're getting close to USED Phantom pricing.

nice car but damn, it's expensive. even more with that "stealer market price adjustment." does current market conditions warrant for such a premium markup? of course i would never pay extra but if someone can wipe their **** w/ benjamins, they can sure pay that extra $$ to have it first.

Do you mean the butt or but.

I can't decide what makes my fantasies fly over more...Heidi Klum or the S65? However, I'd treat both like a lady ...

I agree that $30k was a bit extreme, but we had 2 people show up at the same time to try & buy the car. He was the lucky winner......he traded in his black/black 2006 S65 with 17k miles on the clock!

Well, so much for the 3 KIA premium. Calculated in MSRP $92K - $30K = $62K

I'd buy an W220 S65 for $62K

wow, personally, i think the bentley sedan that looks sort of like the coupe, is a very handsome car that even looks "lighter" than the new S class. whether it is or not probably doesn't matter too much to most of the market for those things, as they're usually cigar-smoking dudes in their 50's that float from beverly hills to their century city offices and then to la cienega restaurants for dinner... not exactly the "take it to the track" crowd, are they?

yep, leave it to the "market price adjustment" to add a $25k premium to a car that gets 10 mpg in a $77/barrel oil market... ridiculous! barnum was right, though.
