All in all, there is little harm in waiting it out. That little harm being , it may delay somebody else's reservation from getting built, somebody who really wants theirs.-- selling one's reservation spot (can this even be done)?
No.
...and really, anybody doing a 30 second google search would see that it is worthless at the moment anyways.
Hell, you can't even get it built!
-- waiting for the car but then turning around and selling it .... How long do you intend to wait this out? Will the market even be hot by then? What if the fragile economy tanks and demand for all these NEW TOYS goes right out the window?
(again, can this be done even before the car arrives)? I suppose, but what do you have to sell? What are you closing on? What is the place holder while they wait? Will the market hold for that long...How long? If the used car market corrects in 18 months and your 4dr hard top is just getting built ... was it worth it? Will your buyer still be happy at MSRP+ in a shitty market?
Again, we've never been in this situation before and would like feedback both on the nuts and bolts of how to do this (eBay for example?) as well as the ethics of doing it. Thanks so much for your help!
Ethics? It's business, it's a free market. Once you own it, you can do as you please with it.
Would you sell your house at cost (or below market) because somebody feels they have a right to below market housing? ... because they feel they like it more than you do, therefore they have a claim on it more than the rich guy?
Once you own it being a VERY key element right now though.
/Rich
That's about the only ethical dilemma I see.
My point of view is, you did what you were supposed to do when you were supposed to do it. It's not your fault they are in line behind you. They won't feel sorry if theirs gets built first ... so... whatever.
... or change to a miracle build, 4dr softie , no options and see what happens ... and see if the market is still hot .... IF ..... you get it soon enough.
Never know unless you try, but I'm not certain in the profit potential of a 2nd hand plain janer, even right now.
