Used car dealers are known for ambitious pricing, but this takes things to a new high.

Hartford Toyota in Connecticut, USA has advertised this ’98 Supra for US$125,000 (AU$165,541). Yep, six figures.

While that price might seem over-the-top, this Mk4 Supra is next to brand new both inside and out.

Having received no modifications and only travelled 14,243 miles (22,922km), it's almost new.

Here's the head kicker though, this particular vehicle has preveiously been involved in a rear end accident. Surely that would hurt the value?

There's also murmours around the internet that it is missing some of its ID tags.

Still, this is a very rare car. Thanks to the Fast and Furious franchise and plenty of boy racer/Paul Walker wannabes, stock Supras are few and far between.

Therefore, stock examples are liekly to appericate in value as we've seen with the original Honda NSX. But we reckon $165k is a bit rich.

Is this price tag just madness or completely justified? Let us know in the comments below.

Following a passion shared by his father and grandfather, Mitchell’s love of cars really kicked off with his Godfather’s purchase of a new Mazda RX-8. Exposure to that car changed his world forever, leading to an RX-7 obsession. To feed his automotive addiction, Mitchell decided to become a motoring journalist and made his mark at several high-profile motoring publications before landing at CarsGuide. While he is a rotary loyalist, Mitchell also has a massive love for Aussie muscle cars, and dreams of one day getting behind the wheel of a Charger R/T E49 (if anyone will let him). His other passions include Queensland, and spending Saturdays with the boys.
