Exactly.When you don't have stock of a car, and the little stock you do have, has some stupid mark up.... you get this situation.
Supra haters currently coming up with a theory..."becuz it sukks, it's not even a real Supra, no one wants it. It's slow. I can beat it with my Maxima."Exactly.
It literally took me 5 months of calling around the country to locate a 2023 6MT without a $20k markup and the ones I did find were not 6MTs. I got so tired of calling countless dealerships I was about to get over it. Trust me enough people want to buy and/or build one, but the dealership markups and low production numbers don't help YTD sales.This is ridiculous. The production dropped significantly and pretty much matches their number sold. Haven't heard any 3.0 Supras sitting on the lot.
That could only happen if they were made in Japan. Without the American market there would be no point in keeping the production contract going in Austria. They are paying someone else to build them, there is very specific ratios required to justify or itāll just stop. No way they would keep a line tooled for Supras just to make a few and the costs to shift lines should not be underestimated, that is why Toyota and Honda and the like make their cars in batchesIf the Supra abruptly ends its going to be because of half baked articles like this, the shitty economy and Toyota pencil pushers that misforcasted demand. And history is going to repeat it self. Sale will end in NA then Japan will have it for a couple more years then gone.
