Loss of life and taxes could also be life’s solely two certainties, however I believe there is a third: folks overpaying for limited-edition sports activities vehicles. On this case, no less than, it wasn’t some Boomer Totem rolling throughout the public sale block at Mecum. Nope, a Dutch fanatic shelled out greater than $200,000 for… a Toyota Supra?
In fact, it isn’t any previous Supra. It is a Toyota GR Supra A90 Ultimate Version, one in all simply 300 constructed worldwide. The entire value after VAT and BPM (the tax paid within the Netherlands to register a passenger automotive, supply van, or motorbike) hit €190,000, based on Autoblog.nl. Our Google-Fu tells us that is about $216,000 at as we speak’s trade charge.

That’ll possible startle anybody who’s frolicked on the GR Supra configurator right here within the US, the place the Toyota’s MSRP begins at $56,900 for the bottom “3.0” trim and stretches to $67,950 for our personal US-market MkV Ultimate Version.
Nonetheless, the Dutch automotive in query is totally different gravy altogether. As famous, the A90 Ultimate Version is restricted to 300 items general, however simply 150 of these vehicles will make it to the EU area at €92,500 a bit. Which means our Dutch purchaser paid greater than €100,000 above MSRP to snag this small-batch Supra.
Value it? Nicely, that is for the proprietor to resolve.

The tax scenario within the Netherlands accounts for an enormous chunk of the premium, so it is unlikely any automotive within the A90 Ultimate Version’s value and effectivity bracket would’ve run up less expensive. On the very least, we salute this extremely devoted Supra fan (Supra Superfan? Suprafan?).
We sit up for this limited-edition Supra rolling throughout the Mecum public sale block in one other 30 years with 12 miles on the odometer and supplied at twelve instances the value it bought for in 2025. Loss of life and taxes, in any case.
