What is the "right" price for an SLR?

(POSTED THIS on FerrariChat as well)

no surprise here, but SLR prices continue to drop.

I see this SLR on ourSL.com for $289k,

still too much for those who can get other brand new V-8 exotic cars for less....


At what price would you consider buying an SLR?
a. N/A, I already have one. :-)
b. Current prices look good, I'll buy one!
c. I'll wait till it drops further, maybe into the low $200k.
d. N/A, I would never get such a heavy piece of junk! :-0
