AllThingsPorsches collecting SLS BS’s

So this dealer just bought the silver one that was listed for 1.2m. The seller caved for a lot less because dealer also bought his convertible SLS. So this guy now has 3 or 4 of them silver…black…yellow(1 or 2). Don’t cave to this guy…..he’s buying them for much less than market price. He keeps bugging me for my white SLS BS but I’d rather sell to an enthusiast, or just keep it for my kid. He sent me this picture to rub it in my face that he bought another one. Nice guy lol

I understand he may not be a nice guy but don't see what's wrong with someone who wants to collect those cars? He is paying for them after all!! He may not pay what you want for your car but certainly paying enough for others to sell him. I know he was the highest bidder ever on a yellow SLS in 3/2022 for $735,000 and paid $135,000 more than any previous auction for that car so he has raised the bar significantly on the SLS BS. Also the price would plummet if he would place all 3-4 cars in the market right now so he is doing everyone a favor by holding on to them and keeping them off the market.

somewhat true, and i told him as much about him raising the market when he kept "working" on me with lower numbers. But ill always be on the side of the enthusiast who isnt a used car salesman/dealer.
