If you have enough money you can buy anything. A customer of mine who has a very expensive car collection was at the old Earls Court Motor Show about 18 years ago and there was a one off Aston Martin as the star attraction on their stand. He liked it and asked one of the sales guy if he could buy it, he was told no way as it was not for sale. He said ,right you are not the right person to talk to, tell me who is. After a long conversation with someone at the top he paid an outrages amount and the car was his!! It now lives in a carpeted, heated garage and still looks brand new.
The nice thing with the US auction is that it was all for charity.

I bet there will be some people buying their new Focus RS and selling it again for more than the new price if there is a long waiting list!
