There are plenty of people trying to cash in on the perceived Stingray shortage. The car I ordered at a Sarasota dealer had an MSRP of about 60k. It is on sale in Orlando for $69,900. That used car dealer in Orlando bought a bunch of Stingrays from all around Florida and has them all listed way over what their MSRPs were.

That dealer probably subscribes to the WC Fields theory of there is a sucker born every minute.

It wasn't W.C.Fields, it was P.T. Barnum ( of the greatest show on earth ). A man known best for promoting hoaxes for the circus.

Actually it was WC Fields and PT Barnum. Getting even more technical while PT Barnum usually gets credit for the statment, it was his rival David Hannum who actually made the statment. But WC Fields made the statment in one of his movies.

Actually, I suspect these ads are focused at some of our non-US friends who can't get a Stingray any other way...
