SpeedBmp just raised an interesting idea, but I must poke a hole in it
(far to the edge, however). The problem with reverse-engineering the
price/base cost of a car comes in when you look at the drones (I haven't
checked the cars, so I don't know if that is a problem).

Basically, one can buy a drone for around 50,000 Y and sell it for a
much inflated price by taking it apart and selling the components! Heck,
the autopilot on some of those drones costs more than the base cost given .
. . that is a heck of a package deal!
