Finish Line also will sell standard CSX Continuation series cars. Aluminum cars are now $115,000.00 for a bare unfinished roller chasis with a 12 to 14 month delievry time. Final finished out the door for a standard aluminum Continuaton CSX is now $160K to $175K done right.

For those that think the CSX Comp car is "overpriced" thats fine. Don't buy one.

How did you get the information on the car? Did you have an opportunity to discuss the chasis changes for some specfics? Did they provide a good rationale for the nearly double price besides that they have "200 hours" into the car? What are we actaully getting for those 200 hours. Since you called (or however you found out) I would expect a bit more digging especially from you since you are a stickler for details and exactness.

Give me a break that it is a CSX Comp car and should double in price. As mentioned earlier in the thread by several people. There will be a buyer whose IQ does not match their wallet.
