If you add up all the prices for the individual OEM parts for the car, it would be an astronomical amount. Hell, the wheels retail for $430 a piece. Are the wheels really nearly 7% of the cost of the car? No, but that's what parts go for.

Well fitting parts for a low-volume automobile are going to cost a decent amount because you can't make up for a low margin by expecting a lot of sales.
