yes correct but in fairness to the XR8 its was on its last legs as you knew quoting 2015 plates but picking up a Sprint in Sept 2016, so every dealer had cut back their XR8 selling price to shift standing stock being Sprint was the LAST coming so to speak.
I saw many prior to Sprint $52k ++ and abouts, that was its market pricing.

In fairness FGXXR8 is a golden buy when at new, even I went back and forth, do i or don't i pay more for the Sprint BUT the LE won me over and in hindsight whats not to say the FGXXR8 isn't LE anyway, its not like they made or sold in the triple figures of old days.
Good luck to you XR8 owners, I reckon they are gold in any case.
