Yeah, that can't be a coincidence. I'd want to see who they were registered to and if somehow connected to the dealer. Might be some VERY hard miles on those puppies, if the drivers knew they were just gonna be flipped soon.
All vehicles were first titled at Auburn hills MI where VW corporate is located. Its highly likely that they were employee lease vehicles and were bought by the dealer in an auction after they were turned it.
They are all manual trans so they will sit for months and not sell. Will sell for low low eventually. Still no idea why any dealer/Corp would spec the spektrums in manual when they know it's a hard sell on colors to begin with.
