Dear teacher,
Mr. Fontana made no bones about the fact that the inspiration was partly commercial, aimed particularly against Ferrari, the leader in the superfast luxury car market here that put a police car on the road in the 1960's and 1970's. He said Lamborghini figured it could perform dual duty, helping both itself and the police, and so in May they donated the car, worth about $165,000 before all the fancy electronics (GPS, radar and an automatic license plate scanner, to check for stolen cars), to mark the national police force's 152nd anniversary. The police graciously accepted.
Q : I think the bold sentence means the car is worth about $165,000 except for all the fancy electronics. (The amount of money for the electronics is not added to the worth)
What do you think?
before?
