I"m confident it will sell over sticker. There are people (like me) who procrastinated over getting one until it was too late. Now I must wait for the right car at the right opportunity. Others will not be so patient in my view and will pay a premium over sticker.

could be an arb play
the few on the market seem to be asking 1.6+ so this auction should be interesting
here is a recently listed one in NY

I think you are underestimating the 918. Car is fastest and best performing car of all of the new hypercars and is as revolutionary as any car that has come out ever with its battery technology. Imho the car is the beginning of a new wave of cars in the future and will go down as that. The first.
People I have spoken to who have researched the car and driven it feel the same way. All porsches are extremely hot now so why shouldnt the 918 be part of it. They will never build another one.
And the 918 even at 1.5m is cheaper then the p1 and la ferrari which is the real competitor to the 918. When you look at it that way the 918 is a bargain.

918 Resale Value
The question really is, why wouldnt someone (assuming they have the means) buy this car, even at 1.5M USD?
If you are a connisuer, collector, and looking for Value, the 918 (from my math) is the best value in super cars available today. With P1's trading at 1.8 to 1.9m USD and also the LaFa trading at 3.25m PLUS, a 918 at 1.5m is the deal of the trio.
Only 300 918's coming to the USA (about half as many as the appx 600 Carrera GT's that came to the USA.which are now trading at 50% over msrp), it represents a sweet spot for value and collectability.
It is the best performing street hyper car made today (4 wheel drive cant be substituted in terms of traction on a street car with street tires), it also has a removable roof, amazing stereo and ergonomics; heck, you you can sneak out of the house whenever you need to on full electric power without waking the kids and the wife (serious value add in my eyes) for those late night, gotta go blow off some steam, drives.
BTW: It's a Porsche with a 4 year warranty and 7 year battery warranty, not a LaFa which needs to go back to the factory for new fuel tanks, or a P1 which sits in pre delivery status for a month because of the initial delivery issues, it's a Porsche, with undobtedly the best fit and finish of the three and yes, I have spent time in and around all three of them. The top comes off for the Al Fresco motoring experience, try that in a P1, and BTW, have any of you been caught in traffic in a P1? I have and the exhaust rumble and motor noise make you want carry an extra set of ear plugs at all times, it's brutal.
No, I am not bashing the other two hyper cars, they are also amazing, stupidly fast, rare air hyper cars, but for me, in terms of value and useability, the 918 is in a class of it's own.
Lucky any of you that get to own one of these beasts.
