Haha this is a Mecatech these things hold their value. They are the best 5th scale on road car made. The price is on par even for something you buy used at the local tracks. I have a friend that has 2 of these and they are simply amazing cars. The price is hard to swallow but once you do you know that everything else is just poorly built compared to the machines. Do you want a Ferrari or a Pinto?
