    110%. I've been saying this for years about gray market watch dealers but people don't want to believe it as long as they get the watch they want. they don't realize they are contributing to money laundering and it's 99% the case no matter if the seller is legit or the person he bought it from and flipping the watch is legit or not.

    That's why I always buy it at the AD and if I can't have it from them then I just forget about it until a friend to friend private deal comes along (which it never does as no one is that honest and clean nowadays LOL).

    What's the best way to market my car to money launderers?

    More like taking the money out of crashing crypto and putting it somewhere that isn't crashing as hard and fast.

    Or something like that.

    I mean look at the recent ferrari auction. There is no rationaile for 100-300% increases over market levels on 7 figure cars. There have been studies on cars beating some big indexes over time. These are the ultra rich trying to diversify assets and/or speculate.

    I've been making this "laundrozmatz" point for years now. I hate that it's looking more and more likely.

    I also don't expect title to change hands here... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...z-cl65-amg-68/

    It's all become absolute cinema.

    maw
    Especially when you consider that two months ago this 8k mile example sold for $56,500. Same car, same year, no accidents. That's insanity. I agree, no way the buyer actually coughs up over 300k, talking about losing your ass.

    Man that is a weird one, I'm definitely not paying $50k for this car under any circumstances. I kind of understand the thought process, but not on that car. Which is to say I would spend another 10 to 20k to get something with less mileage and in better overall condition.

    even at 30k USD it would be overpaying. Underbody condition, weird carfax, accident, high mileage.

    The Canadian Carfax is provided in the gallery below and shows the aforementioned damage, theft, and collision claims.
