It was 50k even but I bought the 20 spoke rims lightly used which cost me $1400 (the car had the 7 spokes originally) from a member on the forum here.

I have seen RCFs priced all over the board. IMO a 2016 car w/ 32k is a high 40s car, but if it's L Certified by a dealer, 51k is actually not the worst price. Certification tends to add a couple of grand, you have to decide if it's worth the additional cost.
But also, wait for what you want if it's a GSF!!!

damn now i feel it's way overpriced hahah since the certification is basically worthless anyways as it's a 2016 which means it expires next year. standard 4+2 for certification.
and 4 services isn't worth the extra $ they're asking.... the hunt continues! i'm so tempted by a new supra but must hold out.

I just got lucky and found my spec in a month but it’s expected that it takes months to find the right one because of how rare the car is. There had been multiple cars I looked at got tempted but didn’t check all the boxes. I took everyone’s advice to just wait and it paid off. You will know when you find one that ticks all the boxes.

Yep, 4 months to find mine. Always keep an eye on Carmax as well, they have a rep for being high priced but in my months of searching I found them to be competitive when it came to RC-Fs. (mostly)

Also if you know what your looking for keep a close eye in new listing in autotrader. Even before they post pictures contact them ASAP! Also be willing to look outside of your state, transporting cars from out of state is not as bad as it appears especially after the pandemic.
