Porsche Dealer Selling Tesla Cybertruck for $289,999... After Paying $244,000 For It

•    A Porsche dealer in Florida is selling a Tesla Cybertruck for $289,999, after buying it for $244,000.

The car resale market can sometimes go a little funny when it comes to certain rare and exclusive models, or even just when demand skyrockets far above demand. Case in point this week: the purchase and resale of a Tesla Cybertruck. 

A Porsche dealer located in Florida is listing a Cybertruck at $289,999 USD, far, far above the suggested retail price for the EV, which varies between $60,000 and $100,000 USD. At the top of the range is the Cyberbeast version, equipped with three motors and offering breathtaking performance. 

Turns out the Cybertruck for sale by the Porsche dealer had been acquired at a Manheim auction for the princely sum of $244,000 USD. The dealer is trying to make a profit of $46,000 from the resale of the model. 

It also came to light that a group (givemethevin.com) had previously paid $210,000 for the EV to the original owner, who will have made a tidy sum from the sale of his copy, then turned around to sell it at the Manheim auction.
