Eric - I think when you begin your comment with pointed sarcasm (as you did) and throw words like "predator" and "padding your wallet" around, you've done plenty to load the discussion. Our business dealings are beyond reproach, I'll raise that flag anywhere we go. All of this talk of extracting arbitrage from the unwary is pointless. If a wholesaler buys a car from us and "flips" it to his customer for profit, do I then become the unsuspecting and unwary? Or did I do my own diligence value-wise and make a decision on what I would sell it for? Surely it's the latter.
And this "enthusiast website" you refer to? It's drawing thousands of customers to a very successful parts business that Wayne worked his tail off to build. The problem with your argument and all similar arguments I've seen is their failure to recognize that Porsches, by design, are a luxury item, and as such there is no way to separate the Porsche from the fact that it's a commodity, and one enjoyed by people with disposable income.
I'm relieved to see that I fall into the category of folks who are providing a real service and clearly identify ourselves as such. I'll sit back now and prepare myself for more sarcastic comments about my family, or my business. If you want some real material, you should start in on my dog. She's a total mess.
