Saleen does their own custom paint, to do this they actually strip the car down and repaint it. So they charge a lot for their paint. That's probably why this specific car is so ridiculously expensive.
But 138K, no thanks! I have a few other cars in mind for that price. It's a shame because they have good looking cars, but are way to much for what they are.
Thanks for explaining that Tom. I didn't know that about the custom paint. That is a huge job. Paint and buff and so on. Probably a 15K charge on that alone.

Last season there were 2 saleens that were regularly position near me in the shows because of the convertible custom s197 category. Seeing them in person, they are spectacular But nowhere near the price tag worthy. That being said, body work and custom paint is a huge expense, so adding another 10-20k on sticker just for body mods makes sense. I have no clue what goes into drivetrain/susp on saleens.

Most range from 15K-20K, maybe more if it's a really special one. When my dad was looking at Saleen's they sent us a few order guides with all of their options. I think they even had paints and I remember freaking out about how expensive they were. I wish I had saved them now. I can't find them anywhere.


Vegas OMG, that looks identical to my dad's old 2012 5.0. Looks great!

Saw this one at a show in August. I understand that the Chrome Illusion paint was an option on the Saleen. The stuff aint cheap.

I'll keep my eye out when show/cruise season starts up again.

God bless him, but neither the Saleen nor the custom paint is my cup of engine oil. For what he put into those I'd get a new GT350 and still keep my convertible with some gas money left over.

Agreed...I do like the paint, but it just looks extremely gaudy. Still, to say you have two matching Saleens is pretty cool.

You did. But I did manage to sell the BBR yesterday for what I paid for the cravenspeed.

And its like lint or something from the cover...or dust that settled when I pulled up the cover. I'd just been over her top to bottom with the spray detailer before the cover went on.

Not anymore! I just read this message 3 minutes ago and placed my order 2 minutes ago.
Thanks for the heads up Laserred!

I remember you posting those photos Tom.
That car looks ballsy as ****. Awesome with the chrome wheels. I bet the car looks killer in the sunlight.

so glad I got the 14. Here's a good comparison, although the 15 is not a GT...
