probably no difference but the speed of the sale.

The Boxster I want costs $94K. The day I drive it off the lot those options I have to have are almost worthless because I'm competing at resell time with lower priced cars and trying to sell to people who want not to pay new car prices so they will go look at the price of the low optioned car and fix on that. (I know I used it as a negotiating tactic.) And you sell at their idea of the right price or you don't sell at all.

There are thousands of Boxsters for sale right now. Buyers market. Worth what someone will give right now here today. Not what the seller thinks or wants.
