Yeah who’s saying, even if they want to churn out a ton of FL5s, that the supply chain can sustain it? Who knows.

I would argue it isn't speculation when you look at the fact that we have 571 cars so far for the US and the plant has been churning them out since at least September. If it is indeed a 3 year prod run and the count is sub 600 per quarter it is easy to do the math. More of an educated guess. This car is great buy it if you can get your hands on one.

they actually started production mid-august of 2022...only a few hundred in hands of customers all around the globe

i think with it being built in japan and a 3 year production run, this car will be harder to get for sure than an fk8 with less being built

if you have one, consider yourself lucky to have gotten one

Regardless of what I paid, I’m hoping everyone that wants one will be able at some point to get it. At the end of the road, just would like to break even and that’s 1 reason I made the right choice in getting this car. Personally knowing the history of the resale of these cars, any Reasonable price paid, you wouldn’t get hurt to badly. The people that paid huge ADM’s are another story but probably don’t care about losing a ton of money at the end of the day. Just my 2 cents
Regards

Lol you bought this car worried about resale and breaking even?

Should have let somebody who wanted the car because they love it get it instead

Please Reread my post again. I said 1 reason. Sure I love the car but also looking at it from a business standpoint as well. When you get to be my age, pushing 70 you start thinking about saving money as well as other things!!!!

Zoo Wee that is pretty early in the production run. It can only mean one thing - first batch production issues. Only time will tell!
