Okay maybe, but someone must pay that tooling. I don't think Serpent gave the molds for free to Gerd when they gave up on the S500...

Could the changes be due to exchange rate fluctuations between the £ and $ ?

Of course the single most important reason the Durango is so expensive is:
People will pay for it In reality its that simple. Its also why TRF cars are pricy too, people are willing to stump up the cash. If they weren't, the production Durango would have a host of cost saving features to bring its price down in line with what people were willing to pay. Personally I don't mind how much the Durango costs, just as long as you can buy a B44 for a faction of the cost and still be competitive. If folks with spare cash want a no expense spared car thats cool with me, just as long as it doesn't drive up the costs for everyone else too.

Its back at $650 now. I think they are doing some work on the website.
The car is so easy to work on and drives so good the price is justifiable. I wish it were closer to $550 shipped. If it were Id buy 1 or 2 more. |

I doubt it since the price droped 100 bucks in a few hours, then highered 100 bucks again.. And the pound to us dollars shouldnt matter since its a dutch based company.

It still says 747.50 >.<

I don't see what the problem is, when people are happy to buy a B4FT, then an X6sq conversion, Losi Shocks, driveshafts, hangers etc... thats got to be up to the £350 mark.... or the X5sq, and sourcing either a used XX4 and new parts, plus conversion, etc.
So people are willing to pay through the nose, for an expected performance.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but $650 is a small price to pay
for a newly produced car that can do this in only a few months: French National 4wd Champ Italian National 4wd Champ German National 4wd Champ Japanese National 4wd Champ World 4wd Champ

You just have the look at the situation when MG Rover when under, one chinese company owned the tooling while another owned the rights. So the tooling was worth nothing. (it was something like that anyway). |

The actual hardest to win championships in 2009 at a guess would be Japan, US, Euro and UK. It wasn't in UK in time, don't think any major driver ran it at US did they thus year(?), never looked like winning the Euro's but was in the A final so a good run, and if it really did win in Japan then that's very impressive! Next year will be the proof of the pudding though! |

*shakes head at dave for Durango bashing - again!*
You should just get one Dave - I know you want one! If it makes it any easier - you can always put Tamiya stickers on it and pretend?
