This one beats them all:

$150,000 S2000

That awesome description makes me want to run to my bank and apply for a second mortgage to buy this thing . When I asked the seller what he was smoking, he replied:

The body kit you can see is the result of an aerodynamic study lasted 2 years and cost much more than wonder. It is not a simple body kit!

I wonder how much is "wonder" going for these days...
damn i had to actually reply to the seller and say something similar to what you said. god that shit pisses me off

being in the car business people can definitely be "wacked out" when it comes to their vehicle values. alot of these 3rd party sites out there now (kbb, nada) really f@#k with consumers, b/c in my experience they are always higher than what the market really bears, at auction. i'm talking 2-5 thousand at times.

but either way, yeah, these people are definitely on crack thinking they are going to get their money back on the mods i mean come on, when i got rid of the S i sold the s/c for $3k...if i would have kept it on the car it would have only got no more than $1k extra, just as an example.
