    Radiant red is the prettiest Roadster color IMO. Beautiful car!

    I love this group. I have learned so much from you guys simply reading the Roadster forum. Hopefully I'll pay of my MS in another year or land a nice business contract. My two favorite colors for the Roadster is Electric Blue followed by Radiant Red (minorities with sense don't drive red cars). Another story another time. It's blue or black 2.5 Roadster for me. I just placed my name on the list for email notification for 3.0 upgrade.

    I've been tracking this car for a while like to know what you guys think please. Fairfax County's Black Book (for personal property tax) states 2010 Roadsters with 21k miles are worth 50,000. It appears the CAC is not that great :- (. My math extrapolation from the photo is the car only has a range of 142 miles.

    You are too kind. Waiting to learn about this contract so I wouldn't want to waste your time yet but thank you very much.

    The BEST thing about this group by far is the fact if you disagree with someone, it’s just that. People take a deep breath and move on. It’s very refreshing in ANY open forum but the group here have much more depth and understanding than any other, more so being a car oriented group where passions run high

    I think the passion for a roadster from most members here FAR out-weigh almost any other passion, meaning we get along FAR better than most groups. Even other boards on TMC do not appear to be as consistently helpful and respectful as this board, imo.

    I contacted the dealer and was able to bring down the price to $72K. Ultimately I decided on #1339. I'm sure they'd be willing to go down further? You should give them I call.

    Looks like VP31 not Sig31. VP31 was a demo car that many forum members have experienced according to a quick search.

    You have to wonder if it's a sport. It's possible it is, but no sport badging, non-sport wheels, wrong badging on PEM, and looks like non-sport seats (can't see for sure).
