Do you regret not buying it? A Lexus Dealer GM told me that it's possible to buy a NM version GS 450h, drive it around for year there still won't be many regular GS 450H's circulated. Due to the growing demand and low supply, you might be able to sell it for near the price you paid for it. I'm not sure I believe him but it sounds pretty interesting.

Think about it. I think you could get no joke, 80-90k, maybe even 100k on this car in an auction. Some people have the $$$$ don't want to wait in line, don't give 2 craps about a dealer. They'll pay.
I expect the GS 450h to sell like absolute hotcakes, even at 65k. And I expect it to be the next "in" vehicle with the celebrities and rich and famous and athletes. Just so they can say on T.V "this is my new Lexus, I haven't done anything to it yet but its a HYBRID, I get like 50mpg and 500hp (most are not car guys, lol)"

We've already seen 4 eBay auctions for the Neiman Marcus edition, and no bidders have been willing to go above 65K. With non NM 450H's readily available through dealers with the PCS and stabalizer options for the same 65K, I don't think there will be a premium for the NM car.
I do belive the 450H will sell well , but at 65K it won't sell so many that supply becomes scarce.

I tend to agree. The lack of PCS and Active Stabilizer detract from the value. For the same price, I would prefer to have [PCS+**** and the color of my own choice] on my car rather than [the special NM Crystalline Ice color and some NM logos]
