Meh, it’s capitalism. No on is forcing you to buy one. If they can get an extra 20k profit good for them. Before long there will be a bunch on the market and the markups will be gone just like with the Hellcat. ---

Completely agree with ya, just thought it was wild to see 25k over on a civic lol I don’t remember seeing that much on like a focus rs. Then again I never really looked lol. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > I wonder if they’re actually selling with these huge markups though? Most car search tools start “highest price first” by default in sorting until you re-sort. You may be on to something. They could just be trolling for clicks and then list other cars in same dealership inventory for less $. ---

[quote=“HouseS2K,post:7,topic:274770"”] Probably don’t count but serial number 1 was auctioned off for 200k. Tho proceeds went to charity. [/quote] Yeah, definitely not. Serial 1, charity auction, tax exemption for anything paid over fair market value etc etc. ---

Definitely not gouging. Exclusivity costs extra. Supply and demand. Not saying it is how I would spend my money but it isn’t like we are talking about a necessity that everyone needs. ---

Not saying it is how I would spend my money but it isn’t like we are talking about a necessity that everyone needs. they are going to sell thousands a year, not that exclusive to me, at least not enough to justify the price gouging ---

> [@brilliantyellowg60](#): > > they are going to sell thousands a year, not that exclusive to me, at least not enough to justify the price gouging **EVENTUALLY** they are going to sell 1000’s a year. Right now they are in very short supply. ---

Every dealer gets 1, MAYBE 2 in certain metro areas. Locally the Honda dealers have already delivered them over sticker. Not $20,000 but several thousand over. It happens with Golf R, Focus RS, Mustang GT350, etc. ---

> [@brilliantyellowg60](#): > > they are going to sell thousands a year, not that exclusive to me, at least not enough to justify the price gouging Something is worth what someone is willing to pay. That is basically how a market economy works. As I said, not worth it to me either, but price gouging isn’t really the correct term. Gouging implies taking advantage of someone and usually refers to something someone needs in a time of crisis. ---
