hey but GTO, the person I'm refering to, well let me put it this way, I highly doubt there would have been a waiting period for him...

However the point was that he was shopping for a car worth well over a crore, and not less, the S500 with all the options he selected hit the mark he wanted...simply put the S350 was too cheap.
His son told me that he suggested his dad get an S600 gaurd, but that didn't work out...

Besides there are loads of people like this who like buying cars at a certain price point, it's the show off factor....mine's bigger than yours

Oh and he used the S500 for 3 or 4 months, now it's the RR, he'll change his car again in a few months...
