I really don't see how one could top $50K on mechanical, body and paint --
this is a simple little car, not a prewar Bugatti or 70s Lamborghini. I
imagine there is a fair amount of money in electronic gewgaws (nav system,
alarm, power accessories) and de luxe finishes (hides, carpet... but I
didn't see any woodwork), and I suppose there is more in hidden regulatory
improvements (emissions certification, crash testing). But I have to think
they are building in a 100% profit with that pricing. Nice if you can get
it.
