The seller is correct, you would have to be very "afluent" indeed to
purchase this thing (money to burn?).  It looks like someone took a
golf cart motor and added enough betteries to make it move the car. 
And with a whopping 7 1/2 HP, this thing can reall fly.  Maximim speed
55mph, I'm guessing that is downhill with a strong tailwind.  Poor
little Spridget, probably never saw it coming.
