There's an easy way to check this. Open the "review magazine" and look for one of the "suspicious" competitor vehicles. The manufacturing cost will be listed there. Then simply compare this number to the acutal selling price that the AI has set. If these numbers are very close or the AI is actually selling stuff at a loss...the AI probably won't be competing for much longer 
. AIs do go bankrupt (quite often, actually) or get purchased by other competitors.
If the unit cost for the luxury cars you mentioned is just 250USD, then 500USD may well be a reasonable sum to ask (provided that labor costs aren't too high). Also note that ratings are still slightly bugged (especially the overall rating), though you should generally be capable of turning out a reasonable vehicle at an equally reasonable price (the former is something the AI usually struggles with as their vehicles often lack in many rating aspects).
