I tried to buy it when it first came out I had the money I'd just sold my house. But they delayed it. Then they re did it . Then they fixed more stuff. They were handing out expensive filters for your glass then they stopped doing it. To anybody getting good results with your old M8 I say more power to you. But there's not 6 year old digital camera out there which is worth a quarter of that kind of money even a full frame one. I'm afraid Leicas first out digital M is no exception. The M9 however should retain much more of its value. Its a camera to take much more seriously. Unfortunately priced as such.
