Have you looked at the vehicle stats in SR3? There is a Street Index in
there as well as cost and Availability ratings. Availability TN and time
is easy for non-drones: cost divided by 20,000 and rounded up. Street
Index is more difficult, but it appears to be based on the cost of the
vehicle as well. Let's see:
to 22,500: .75
to 122,000: 1
to 174,000: 2
to 349,000: 3
to 589,000: 4
817,000 and more: NA
This list was compiled by looking at the prices in SR3 only. Streamlined,
the SI appears to be based on something like this sequence:
0-25,000: .75
25,001-150,000: 1
150,001-250,000: 2
250,001-500,000: 3
500,001-750,000: 4
750,001+: NA
Of course I'll likely be wrong with the exact numbers, but until FASA
tells us the values they used, it's a reasonable guideline.

The street index reflects the higher price of goods on the _street_ rather
than when buying the item in a store (or from a dealership, in this case);
as such, no manufacturer would factor it into the price, simply because
they _can't_ -- unless they're the ones selling the cars on the street,
but that's rather unlikely.

Ever looked at the price for a Porsche 911? That's roughly what a Westwind
is, IMHO.

BTW, could you quote the original message _before_ your reply, and snip
the irrelevant parts of that original post? Thanks.
