Hmmm, let's take a look at the bidders.

Both have '0' feedback and recently registered for Ebay. One has bid on another car that the same seller is also selling. Looks to me like they are all probably friends and just bidding up the price of the car to make it look like someone really wants it. Of course I could be wrong but this happens all the time!

jdoc7 is spot on ... looks like two shill bidders, probably occupying desks in the dealer's showroom or at the kitchen table at home.

This is however one of the last white/blue stripe 2006 FGT's I've seen on ebay with single digit mileage.

That would explain the guy's story about having to restart the auction. He obviously got no real bids that were any good. A car dealer friend of mine thinks these auctions are often fixed. I know when I bought my 2003 Viper in 2005, I bought it well below Ebay sale prices when plenty were available. If everybody could make 5 grand for buying a readily available 1,000 mile car and running an ebay auction, every dealer would be rich.
This car may be single digit miles, but its also been titled apparantly. If someone cares about single digit, they probably also want an MSO car.

Does anyone know how many of these cars are still with the original dealers?

Tell me what you're looking for and I'll find what's still in inventory. However, it will be 06's only as the 05's won't show up anymore.

You guys have to come to terms that white/blue are faster and are more valuable.

Don't you have cruise control? I have one. It's called a lead shoe. Just place it on your right foot, place your foot on the gas pedal and go!

well not to defend the white cars....(since mine is Black and obviously faster:biggrin).......but I think technically speaking white is a combination of all colors.............problem is that means Black has no color at all...........maybe thats why its faster......less weight! :thumbsup.......

Aaaaaaaaah! Not so, venerable sir. BLACK absorbs all colors ... WHITE reflects all colors. THAT is scientific fact! ...And, as such, it then follows that the REASON white cars are slower is because the white paint is reflecting ALL light AWAY from the front of the vehicle on which it's applied (in our case - the FGT) and the act of "reflecting" said light in the OPPOSITE direction of travel results in the creation of slightly more resistance as these rays "push off" away from the nose of the car. Said white FGT, then, must overcome additional resistance to gain speed. Hence - the car is slower.

Now, before someone makes this observational blunder, the light rays pushing off the REAR of the car do NOT "compensate" or "offset" those pushing against the nose because the rear defusers upset the enviornment in which THESE rays operate just enough to negate any off setting "push" they may have provided.

Now, on the other hand, BLUE cars absorb ALL COLORS save one - BLUE. And while one may think at 1st glance that this would give a v-e-r-y slight advantage to the BLACK car (which absorbs ALL colors), this ALSO is not so, as the BLUE CARS ( covered at length on other threads) were given the HOTTEST POSSIBLE "tune" downloads...whereas the other cars were not. These programs MORE than overcome the puney advantage any black car had -and THEN some. (This also explains why the blue cars cost more and are in higher demand.)

I DO hope this clears up the matter once and for all. :skep
