Default Overpriced SC????

Just happened to see this and thought DAYUMMMM if he can sell his SC for 70k. I'll close my eyes and take 50k any day and do back flips naked in the street.

When you click on the car for a close-up it lists the car at $59,995 in a different ad from the same dealer.. $10 grand is quite a nice mark-up! That really is a "Special Price!"

I looked a little closer, it got a Tom's supercharger and claim to be making 425 whp, that must be one factor on the big price premium.

The Lambo doors depreciated the car IMO

That car better be pushing 600 HP to be that much money. I would have a hard time buying a 2010 for $60k.

Something is only worth what somebody else is willing to pay like the guys with money to burn on Barrett Jackson.

Power is cheap, quality is what makes a car worth money.

No amount of power would make that car worth that much.

For that car, even if it got 1000 hp, it aren't worth that much.
I agree with what you are saying to some extent, but then other than it is a rare car, why do Supras sell for ridiculous prices once they have a ton of power? Again, I know people will pay what they think is a good deal, but so many cars will get marked up because of a huge power gain. It is just like saying a IS350 should be as much as an ISF. That is not case because while an ISF has better suspension and all that stuff, the inside and quality of the car is near the same as the 350. You are paying for the performance. The same goes for other brands. BMW 335i or BMW M3. The M3 is much more powerful but also much more expensive.
