Just nature. When you want something badly, you look for all the positives, but when you aren't committed, you tend to look for things to keep yourself away.
I can't say as what is too high for what it's worth, as I've only seen a few of these 2dr copcars pop up, and none to this thorough a refurb. But if I had 25k in my pocket for a copcar, I'd be looking for a different year/make/model. And it would undoubtedly be an unmarked car.
Or maybe I'd just build an awesome AHB Dippy and have $10k left over.
