Death and taxes may be life’s only two certainties, but I think there’s a third: people overpaying for limited-edition sports cars. In this case, at least, it wasn’t some Boomer Totem rolling across the auction block at Mecum. Nope, a Dutch enthusiast shelled out more than $200,000 for… a Toyota Supra?
Of course, it’s not any old Supra. It’s a Toyota GR Supra A90 Final Edition, one of just 300 built worldwide. The total price after VAT and BPM (the tax paid in the Netherlands to register a passenger car, delivery van, or motorcycle) hit €190,000, according to Autoblog.nl. Our Google-Fu tells us that’s about $216,000 at today’s exchange rate.

That’ll likely startle anyone who’s spent time on the GR Supra configurator here in the US, where the Toyota’s MSRP starts at $56,900 for the base “3.0” trim and stretches to $67,950 for our own US-market MkV Final Edition.
However, the Dutch car in question is different gravy altogether. As noted, the A90 Final Edition is limited to 300 units overall, but just 150 of those cars will make it to the EU region at €92,500 a piece. That means our Dutch buyer paid more than €100,000 above MSRP to snag this small-batch Supra.
Worth it? Well, that’s for the owner to decide.

The tax situation in the Netherlands accounts for a huge chunk of the premium, so it’s unlikely any car in the A90 Final Edition’s price and efficiency bracket would’ve run up much cheaper. At the very least, we salute this incredibly dedicated Supra fan (Supra Superfan? Suprafan?).
We look forward to this limited-edition Supra rolling across the Mecum auction block in another 30 years with 12 miles on the odometer and offered at twelve times the price it sold for in 2025. Death and taxes, after all.
