guys u r all going about this wrong! You are all discussing this as if one of us is gonna buy it for our normal purposes and uses. most of us use our EVO's as our DD, WHILE this is just a show peice.

In reality, none of us would ever buy this car for $85,000, or even $35,000, its just not worth it, and there are way too many better choices in todays market!!

this car would only suit someone who already has 3 other cars as his/her daily drivers - Whoever buys it, will only use it for shows and promotions, so the price is actually justified!

.... no one in their right mind would buy a NINE year old car, in a very rare edition, from a movie, with 400 miles on it, just to suddenly start rackin' up the miles on their pathetic way from home to their 2-walled cubicle 5-6 times per week!

But to answer the original question, i say that cars that are this rare, or famous, or have very very low miles, only end up going to someones 8-car garage, and for those people, and for its intended purpose, its well worth the price.

wow..a real MCO (Manufacturers Certificate of Origin).. when you reg. your car with a state, you give that up for the equitable title the state gives you. With a true MCO, the man can't take your car away as it is constitutional property, but when you agree to the title, you agree to forfeiture if you violate certain laws.pic of the documentation

whoever has an 8 car garage probably doesnt have the maturity level of a 14 year old.

unless you provided a well documented citation, I am calling shenanigans on this.
