In this context I see the 1M not as a collectable, in the way an M3 CSL is. (but in saying that, the $220k new CSL can now be had for $90k's, still a 40% retained value from new which is not bad for a 10yo car).

What I see in the 1M is a car that has a slower depreciating effect on it's market value, nothing more. There are 300+ on our little island, they are not that special!! (if they stuck with the original plan of 100 then maybe they would have been more special)

Our car sold (as I have said a few times now) for $92k versus a buy @ $110k, 83% retained value over 18 months AND she had 24,000 k's on her, not bad IMO!!!

footnote:
my cayman R had a 86% retained value, surprisingly better than the 1M, go figure.
Simple mate. There are probably 30 Cayman R's in this country.
