A) Used cars always start high. If some chump pays the sticker price that's more in the pocket for the dealer.
B) Demand. Back during the last gas crunch, a used, first-gen Prius would sell for MORE than a new second-gen one. They could do this because you couldn't find new ones anywhere.
So, if someone really wants a slush-box FR-S in that color and it's not available new right away and they don't want to wait - they get to pay for their impatience.
It's not rocket surgery.
