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.

For $5,500 In Loonies, This Is The Car With The Walmart Tattoo
People like to accessorize themselves, a habit that goes all the way back to humanity's formative days. Today's Volvo S40 is decked out like it's a Suicide Girls pin-up, but is its price one adornment that's too much? Wow, two Volvos in a row, that must be some kind of...

High-end off-roaders prove that even the monied enjoy roughing it - as far as the lodge that is, where hopefully a hot toddy is waiting. Today's Mercedes 280GE comes from a line of just such 4x4s for the filthy rich, but does its current price mean it cleans up nicely?...

For $18,995, Witness For The Defense
They say the best defense is a good offense. Today's Land Rover Defender 90 looks pretty good, but is its price offensive? Born in 1948, the Land Rover is, next to the Jeep, the oldest 4x4 brand offered to consumers. Despite being of an age when it might seem appropriate...

As illustrated in The Prince and the Pauper there's a yawning chasm of difference between royalty and commoner. Today's 350-powered Bertone Volvo 262C attempts to bridge that gap, but does its price make it a royal pain? The French, when faced with new dietary guidelines from their royalty, knew just...

For $3,850, Pay With Plastic
Citroën's 2CV is so basic and elemental, it's hard to imagine it could be deconstructed any further. Today's Mehari does just that, being little more than a plastic dog dish on wheels, but will its price bowl you over? Not plastic, but instead all kinds of heavy metal was yesterday's...

The Pixar film Cars is a story of redemption and personal growth about, well cars. Today's 1996 Dodge Avenger has been given new life as a homage to that CGI flick, but is there anything redeemable about its price? Yesterday's may have been claimed Certified, but most of the comments...
