That price has dropped quite a bit since they started shipping them, I was told about $140m now but thats still $55m more than the F-35.
It makes sense shutting the production down on these, they will still have about 200 in service which is 3 times more than the plane it replaced (F-117) they can retire the eagle and tomcat and use the F-35 and the new super hornet to replace them.
