If the market is well above OEM, than someone is set to make a large profit somewhere. It's either Ford, the dealer, or the first owner who wants to flip it for a quick profit. Ford would have to put in a program to prevent resale for the 1st 6th month or something, or perhaps some some sort of customer qualification program so that the R is purchased by an actual enthusiast, as you suggested, rather than someone wishing to making a profit.Personally, I don't like overpaying for a vehicle, and I also don't like trying to make business connections, calling around dealerships for the best deal, getting on waiting lists, and waiting months while hoping the deal doesn't fall apart and my trade in value doesn't crater. The only way to win is...not to play.
