Seems like you could build two for that price.
You need to remember that we are a different economy - an iphone here is about NZ$1k (US$840) for the latest model! If it was USA it'd be much cheaper as cars are more expensive here. The Base 86 is around NZ$42k (US$35k) here, the GT86 is NZ$48k (US$40k) and the TRD86 is around NZ$68k (US$57k).

A Toyota Carolla here gets up to the NZ$40k (US$33k) mark for the well specced one.

We get awesome JDM cars here and have all the TRD parts but it is expensive as we are a couple of little islands at the bottom of the world.

So, to get an idea take your base FRS price an multiply it by around 1.9 and that's about the equivalent cost in the USA if these were in your market.

Not bad I think for a fully specced race car and for the opportunity to take part in the race series.
