Over priced or.....

bluebeast1562 · Dec 24, 2021

Came across this gem on a motorcycle site I am involved with. I really hope it is a joke but.....

Nope not a joke lol but it already sold ... the other 2 at their lot are 106K

We sold our Ignition for $20k over and I think the Launch edition for $25k over. $50k seems high but in that market, it's feasible. Plus, only 875 made.

locally the just sold one for $102,000

My local dealership has sold a few TRX's, and all of them were listed for MSRP or below. They haven't had one in stock for a couple months now though, so who knows how much they'd try to get out of it?

CheechDogg.0n37s · Dec 24, 2021

The one sold at the dealer I got my truck at was 97k ....

Dealer here is selling one for $155k CA. I seen it, it's ugly. Don't like the color at all.
They also list 'price' at $129K or something like that.

California...'nuff said.

Odds of me winning the lottery is 1 in 300,000,000. About the same odds of me buying a TRX!

That would be $155K Canadian which is about $122K in US dollars. Lots of Canucks on the forum.

Do people think they need this truck that bad that they pay enough over MSRP they could have bought a second car? Those people are idiots because they just lost that money when they drove it off the lot. When the prices come down in a year or so they will have some serious negative equity. Imagine if you bought it for $50K over and totaled it a month later. Your insurance isn't paying you that $50K over.

I guess if you have enough cash to pay for it it isn't as bad. Still dumb though

To each their own and it's none of my business but I don't understand it either. There are old muscle cars I would rather have but the prices of them is why I'll never be able to have another one. I'm not paying the price people want for them to sit in a garage and trailer to a car show. I'm going to use them and run them like they were made for. Doesn't make sense to me to pay 100 grand for something you can't drive or destroy if you do. JMHO!

That is just frickin' insane! $50k markup, $1k to etch a serial number into the windshield when it's already etched all over the chassis, drivetrain and cab, $1500 for a tracking device so they can monitor you driving habits, another $1500 for fabric protection and top it off with $500 in nitrogen. I don't know which one is nuttier - the buyer or the seller!

Some people just appear to have more money than they know what to do with. On a smaller scale, I've certainly made a foolish car purchase or two. Like the time I bought a 2010 Camaro, only to trade it in 6 months later, when it became obvious it wouldn't work well in the snow LOL. Some in this forum might think buying a fully equipped Limited like I did is crazy, when a base model Tradesman would have worked for them. What makes sense for some people seems like insanity to others. It's their money and their financial situation, and is really no one else's business. In the end I really don't care what someone else spends, especially if I don't know them. If someone has enough money to make purchases like this because it makes them happy, more power to them.

While I would never do it, if the money is meaningless and you want it, why not? It’s really not that expensive for a relatively rare vehicle when you look at other rare vehicles. And if your portfolio is growing by $150k per day, it’s just all in a day’s work.
