Check this out. Notice the grammar.

"120 mph"?  In your dreams buddy.  Have seen a few ads here in the UK with prices which I can only assume are a typo.  Could that be the case here?

I was thinking he meant $4500, but could be the seller is hoping for an uniformed buyer.

Every once is a while I run across people trying to sell vehicles well over the true value. Wonder if thi8s seller is taking the Covid related supply chain issues too far.

I have seen a 2015 TMax listed for over $9k in this part of the world recently. Also, a 3 year old XMAX listed for $2k over original msrp. People are either delusional, or someone is paying the inflated prices.
It is similar to a dealers ADM (additional dealer mark up). A new AK550 had a $2k ADM. If people stopped buying a new unit with inflated prices, they would be forced to drop it.
