Market commentary

The buyer got an early delivery SLR McLaren and a tax deduction of some $70,000 ($520,000 hammer less the sticker price of about $450,000.) These early delivery auctions are becoming something of a tradition at the Monterey auctions and are very successful in raising both the cars profiles and funds for charity. Better to contribute to 11 99 than some dealers Additional Mark Up.
