At the moment this is a reasonable/ fair price. Especially when you bought the camera at a dealer incl. warranty.

Recently, I bought a black M240 for euro 3k. It was advertised for euro 3250 at a camerashop.

My camera is in absolute mint condition and came with the original box and stuff. I just love the camera. It inspires me to take it with me and make pictures.

Take it out, and make memories with it. It’s worth it 🙂

Enjoy your day!

Absolutely agree!

It’s all about expectations. Of course the Nikon Z Sensor of my mirror less outperforms the Leica in a measurable way, In regards of iso and noise and dynamic range, but:

I honestly treat my M240 like a film camera. Is there light I ask myself? I go out and shoot. 100 or 400, when light is getting less I go up to 800 max. Then I go home and get excited about the files I am going to edit on my computer.

It’s just lovely and it delivers the results I want and enjoy. Like a Fuji100V that I once owned but without all the extra tech.

It is the right camera for ME, guess that’s why I didn’t want the M10P.. too slick, too modern too… but of course better dynamic range.. and if I had have the money it would have been a tougher decision, to be honest.

My mp240 just came today.I spent $3250 on it I'm happy with it. I was looking at the m10s for awhile. I decided to go for the mp240 and used the extra cash to get Panasonic 16-35 for my SL2S. My first SL lens to go with all my R lens. A happy Adorama shopper.

Hello

Still torn between the M and SL2-S. I have a deal on very condition MP for 2900€ (initial price was 3100€)

I think it's worth the price for an M, still not quite though why I can get an SL2-S for approx the same price though  ?

I sold my M240-P. It was a fantastic camera. Great detail, colours. Very lively, never felt the need to upgrade. So, congratulations on  a very good choice.

Now I have a larger file. That is fantastic too.

As the title says. I am just trying not to regret the purchase/avoid buyer's remorse  Thanks!

Leica itself state the M240 as the most complete camera they have ever build. There is a nice youtube video about is the 240 worth to buy it in 2023 from Leica in german. Very nice, and it will give you confidence in your decision.

Cheers

I just moved from an SL2 back to M240. I sold the SL2 because it was a handsome profit I made (I bought the SL2 at fire sale price). 
But if the SL2-S was the same price, I would get the SL2-S. It is light years ahead in technology vs the M240, can use Leica Foto app, 1/16000s electronic shutter, at least 2.5 stops better ISO, seamless change of focal lengths with no limitations. The only consideration for the M is the form factor and M240 being the sweet spot for depreciation and cost of ownership, amongst the M bodies- M240 to M11. That said, the m240 is heavier, chunkier vs the M10 series and M11.

I finally got a SL (601) for 1700€. Very happy with it 😀

The M-P 240 is the one with video and the sapphire screen and therefore unique. The video through Leica lenses for art videos is absolutely stunning to watch and different to anything else.

I just picked up an m240 for about 2675 USD.  2800 USD after tax and shipping from ebay.
