Best deal ever?
It had tons of upgrades including back up camera, adjustable shocks, carbon roof, and the 2.5 sound reduction work.

Someone got a killer deal on a Roadster indeed. It came with an HPC, the 2.5 soundproofing and the adjustable suspension upgrade.

I wonder why the owner traded it in to a Ford dealer. As strange of a comparison as this is it reminded me of the guy (Carlton Beal Jr.) who traded-in his Veyron for a ZR1.

Did he drop an ICE in it?

He said that the first sale fell through as the buyers financing failed; perhaps he was fed up?

Why not Tesla?

Are they going to do an "approved used" program?

I asked about that; as we go into the last year of Roadster sales it turns out that a lot of 2.5's are being sold to 1.5 and 2.0 owners. The sales team didn't discount a authorised used car program to handle those 1.5s collected. I imagine that they'll turn them into 2.5s along the way.
