How much would an Evo cost if you had to buy each part separately?
I'm just curious because it was recently posted that a single Recaro leather seat costs a little shy of $4,000. So right there you have, say, $10,000 in seats. Would anyone care to hazard a ballpark guess as to how much, say, an Evo IX with SSL would cost if each individual part had to be purchased separately from 
?
?
In general, I've read it would cost someone 4-5 times the price of the car if they were to buy the individual parts themselved and attempt to build it. So a $30,000 car would cost $120,000 - $150,000 approximately. It all has to do with retailing and economies of scale.

It looks like once again some of you misunderstood the the scope of this little mental exercise. A better question would be how much would it cost to convert a base lancer into an Evo. If you take it all the way back like some of you implied it would be impossiable to make because you could never mine and process the ore of all the metal parts by your self.
