I was wondering what the Carrera GTs were going for...
*cries*
^ Low miles, thats why.

-> Heck even even the CGT has 80K miles, I'd still be all over it! Simply because I'll drive the hell over it (along with the F40 & McF1)!

No, because it's white & likely the only white CGT stateside. Low mile CGTs are only just recently starting to go for their original $440,000 MSRP.

Also belongs to Indy driver Graham Rahal, but I don't think that affects the price as much as the color.
 
^ The US-spec Elise Toyota 1.8L all-motor has 190hp. And since I've driven an Exige with a S/C, and it sounded terrible.
 
There is not a chance in hell that that car is suddenly worth $700,000 just because it's the first one to take advantage of the 25 year law. For reference point, one of these was asking $70,000 with 33,000 miles on it. That tells you that some idiot bought this 80,000 mile used car for cheap & is looking for a stupid sucker to give him his payday.

In fact, just to demonstrate the lunacy of this ad, one of these sold in the Netherlands for around $200,000. It had 11,000 miles on it. Think about the fact that you could purchase that particular example, import it, & still come way, way under half the asking price of this car. This is akin to the idiots will be importing R34 GT-Rs & asking $1,000,000. And some idiot will pay it.
