i don't think the owner needs the money,he has a fleet of fast cars already! so i'm sure hes not desperate to sell the car!

as for the price...like stated already,i think its a price the owner suggested he MAY accept for him to agree to part with the car.

Regarding your other point about the builder(of any hi spec cossie) trying to recoup thier costs in the sale price or do they just break them......i've seen more hi spec cossies being broken these days.....
