Equipment
3.5/350hp, 5-speed, Toyo tires, carbon fiber splitter, Alpine stereo.

Market commentary
Esprits, even the later twin-turbo V-8 models, are conspicuously low-priced compared to other more common mid-engine exotics of the era that offer similar performance. These rare "Final Edition" cars, however, carry a premium of tens of thousands of dollars even though they're nearly identical to a base car. This one, which was bid to $108K on Bring a Trailer last December but didn't sell, brought a strong price for the condition and mileage and roughly twice what a base car would normally sell for, so the Final Edition premium is definitely real.
