You are certainly entitled to your opinion on that matter, and we may agree or disagree on that, but I don't think the OP was trying to make a statement/opinion on the fairness of the asking price - maybe just pointing out that it was super-loaded with options.
PS - you also stated that the MSRP without those add-ons would have been $60,795, which was incorrectly based on the recent base price increase to $54,500, whereas the car in question was built prior to that price increase, as shown on its window sticker with the previous base price of $53,500.

Don't get an attitude with me because I'm trying to stay on what I believe is the topic.
"very expensive" and "has a lot of options" are not synonyms. We can prove this because there would be zero conversation if the topic was about "this car has a lot of options" It would go something like "no shit" and that be the end of it.
Conversely, every comment both before and after mine (including yours) has been about rationalizing it's price, worth, or value.
However, in the event that I did misunderstand the topic and the conversation is meant to be about the car having a lot of options and not about discussing it's price or the value of the options, then please continue the conversation without discussing those things. However, doing so would prove me correct.
