There’s regular crazy and there’s Florida crazy. In the last day alone, we’ve seen , , and all out of the Sunshine State. But all of that is nothing compared to the markup on this 2020 Supra.

Until this from Toyota Kia of Vero Beach, Florida showed up, at least. We’re no strangers to stiff dealer markups on exciting new cars. They’re not always fair, but when supply’s low, demand is gonna be high. But just how high can it get?

We were amazed to find out.

It turns out that this dealer is not selling this Supra (which starts at $49,995) up 50 percent. They’re not even marking it up 100 percent. They’ve added $138,819 to the price tag of this fully loaded Supra Premium in Renaissance Red. There have been some pretty on this car already, but this is absurdity.

Toyota Kia of Vero Beach did indeed confirm to us over the phone that the price listed in the ad is accurate, and they did say that they have received “serious interest” for the car at that price.

The last time we spoke about a new model getting marked up beyond affordability it was the . A convertible pickup truck with the off-road ability of a Wrangler is going to attract a lot more attention (and potential buyers) than something more conventional, and dealers have found that in some cases that attention is worth a cool twenty grand. The same thing went for the Dodge Challenger Demon. Limited production and preposterous power figures were naturally going to be matched by to the tune of $175,000.

Now, it always does cost more to be an early adopter. Just ask It’s bound to be worth it to some people. It’s exciting to be the first to show up in the latest machine, especially when you get to do quarter miles But at some point marking up the newest model stops being about harnessing demand and starts being about getting the kind of attention that warrants a write-up . And hey, it worked.

At $12,500, Could This 1983 Olds Cutlass Brougham Convertible Get You to Go Topless?
At $12,500, Could This 1983 Olds Cutlass Brougham Convertible Get You to Go Topless?
Cutting a car’s roof off is usually a bad idea, structurally speaking. That is, unless it’s a body on frame like today’s Cutlass. Let see if this custom droptop’s price makes you weak in the knees. There are lots of things called Mega in America. There are Mega Churches, Mega...

At $39,999, Is This Custom 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab a Mega Big Deal?

Let’s say you need to compensate for something—no, no, we’re not saying what, we’ll just let it go at that. Whatever your compensatory need, you could do far worse than today’s Ram, since it’s hella big. Let’s if its price is too. We generally don’t like broken cars here because...

The 2018 Nissan GT-R Is More Godzilla Than Ever: Ancient but Unstoppable
It’s old. It weighs as much as a house. It’s not relevant anymore. It’s expensive, for a Nissan. No manual, no care. It’s a computer car, a video game car that requires no skill to drive. It looks like a . It’s got no soul. This is how the R35...

Some Mad Genius Gave a Corvette Z06 a Flat-Plane Crank V8 and It Sounds Incredible
A Ferrari V8 sounds like a Ferrari V8, largely, because it has a flat-plane crankshaft setup. No other American V8 muscle cars, with the exception of the Voodoo V8 found in the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R, have flat-plane crank V8s. Until this guy came along with his modified...
