Thankfully dealer/processing fees are capped at $250 in my state, which I think is more than sufficient to cover the 30 minutes or less it takes their finance associate to print off a temp tag, register the vehicle, and electronically file your tax as paid.

Capped at $250? Wow that is really cool. I've always said that the dealer fee is the dealership's owners salary.

I'm tickled pink that i8s are going for so much. Makes mine more desirable. I do acknowledge that dealer greed is disgusting. Don't know how to stop it short of price controls.

$250k is how much the buyer made in 10 minutes passed out drunk. They're more concerned for the bragging rights of a limited production car. Why should the dealerships not price what the market will bear? Lowers the cost of an M4 for me. |

The only reason this is even possible is because some fool actually paid a hefty premium (maybe not 100k, but even 50k is insulting), as to empower the dealership to find another fool willing to do the same.
If someone is willing indeed to pay that premium, that person has a lot more money than brains... |

Like many others have stated, I wouldn't pick this car at anywhere near 150k, much less further north of that.
And if I wanted a badass looking hybrid super car, it would be the Acura NSX.

When the x5 F15 came out the San Francisco BMW showroom had an MSport I wanted. They had a $15k Market Adjustment (lol). That very afternoon Sonnen in Marin called me and let me know they just received an MSport. No market adjustment. They'll have my business for life. |
