$94,950? Really?
I guess this is what happens when someone gets their hands on something they have no idea the actual value...

Looks like a cartoon.
But, as they say in the car biz, there's an a$$ for every seat!

Hi Matt. At that price, it would have to be a drunk at an auction.  |

Oh dear...
I'm ashamed to admit that there are aspects of that car that I really like. 
You must admit - it would look quite nice in your garage next to a Martini decal styled Porsche.
I think I might need to up my meds  |

Good advertisement and a way to boost up normal sale prices a bit? Or a hail Mary?
Not for the price, but I actually kinda like it.

Its different. Disregarding the price and shape of the car... IMO: If the exterior paint was a nice dark Slate Gray color with a single Black Euro stripe down the middle and around the nose, the car could be changed to a stealthy track car theme.
I don't mind the dark wheels, dash, and gauges. There are a few elements that make it interesting but not for the asking price. The right changes to the car in a few key areas could transform the entire look using what's already there as a base platform.

Half of that price is the dealer's commission

I agree with Dimis.
If they think they'll get close to that $94,000 figure, then they're nuts. But can't discount the fact that there are alot of folks out there that are both stupid and rich out.  |

Seeing that it has a TON of carbon fiber, a Martini paint job and a Coyote in it I could see it being worth that much to the supercar guys. You gotta remember too that it is for sale by a dealer so you can instantly add AT LEAST $15k to the price.
It is listed for the same amount on their website too btw

I am sure Jay can add PINK to those calipers at a very minimal charge. |

With the huge amount of ill-gotten money floating in S. Florida, I wouldn't be surprised if it sells for that figure.
