When I worked in the car business we had a saying..."There's an *** for every seat".

$52k MSRP and they are asking $58k for a wrap and powder coated wheels. I would never pay S5 money for an A5 with some body work, but someone will will buy it eventually.

I just looked at the dealer posting of this car - and am asking myself, “Who are they targeting with this disaster?”

The shot of the display shows a date of January, 2018. I guess it’s a very “specific” customer who would walk in and buy this?

To the OP - I’ve revised my opinion: It Is Wholesale FUGLY!

that's what it reminded me of. for those of you that have no idea - this is the '60s Batman Series Batmobile. But, I'll be surprised if anyone doesn't know that.

I'll bet someone in the greater Pittsburgh area will snap it up. Heck, if they like the Steelers (AKA the Squealers) and the Penguins (AKA the Winter Chickens) they will certainly like this.
