    few problems with that car.

    1. No top? I prefer a coupe, but if it at least hard a soft top i could consider.
    2. It's Silver - not really an option for me, but I would keep an open mind.

    Anyone else have anything for sale???
    Personally, I think the car is a steal at that price. Can't you simply order a top from the factory (or negotiate one!)??

      I don't know about 'steal'. A yellow car out of Oregon just sold for $118k with softop with low mileage.

      Another black one just sold for $115k out of California with both soft and hardtop, with very little mileage.

      I have cash in hand, I would buy a factory demo car out of Manhattan Motor Cars thats a coupe, Orange/Black, gorgeous, love it - want it, but not for $180k, it's an 08, so 2 years old at this point in time, and a few miles, I think the car is worth $140k which I would stretch for considering I am getting warranty. It's not much of a money factor, I buy my cars cash, and I am running out of space as it is, just ordered (2) 4 post lifts, I just keep my ass(ets) as liquid as possible these days.....

      Maybe if there is a factory rep reading this - maybe they will take mercy on me and sell me that car for $140k

        A few thoughts:

        o For those of us who just paid much more than that for our 06 Spykers, $129K with very few miles on the car does indeed sound like a steal, espec when you consider the MSRP was prob close to $239K or so. Like buying a Trump penthouse at 50% off last years prices!
        o For me, yellow is one of the least desireable cars out there in a Spyker, so a tough comparison...don't know the black one and not sure of mileage.
        o $129K is the "ask", so I'm just guessing that no reasonable offer would be refused.
        o Saw the orange/black at MMC...freakin buy it, its stunning!...that being said, there is NO way they will come close to $140K for a car that had an MSRP of some $239K with very few miles on it.

          I agree 100% on the yellow - but I can't justify spending $180k on a car that will drop to $140k within a few months, weeks, days, or even hours...

            Trust me, you will not be unhappy with this car.

              I know I wont be unhappy with the car... but the color I am not in love with... there is a blue convertible for the same price with the top at MMC, another factory demo car, I think it has about 6k miles.

              I am driving myself crazy... I leave for Dubai on Sunday for a week - I wanted to wrap something up before that...

                Be patient...if I can help in any way, just let me know...the other great source of info is Vinny Russo who knows just about every car out there and can help you navigate.

                  I am afraid if I don't find something I will lose interest.... I almost said the heck with it and came close to buying another Ariel Atom yesterday.

                    If I were in your shoes I would bite the bullet and buy the orange one at MMC...end the madness:lol:

                    You sound like you know cars and while you can always wait for a better buy, I know for a fact after having scoured the land of Spykers and the best deals out there, that these things are a steal at this price.

                    Guarantee: you park your Lambo next to your Spyker outside your local starbux and see what gets more attention?....answer: SPYKER!

                        hahaha...you got me there, but I would still be willing to bet that if you put both cars on the street, the orange Spyker will get more attention than the white Superleggera.

                        Just as an aside, I believe there were 10 Superleggera's made in white, 34 in gray, 37 in black, 45 in yellow and 46 in orange
