The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

[oceansize]

I like car auction sites, enjoy them as resources, but man, the comment sections are truly full of some of the dumbest humans walking this planet. A car has more modifications than Madonna's face and then "will it pass smog?". No you dumb f$c$, it isn't going to pass smog.

Everyone catch this ?? Grrrrrr

PA, MD car that generally hasn't seen much winter... a couple nicks up front.

This price just dropped $3k... probably a $17k car with cash in hand at the lot. Not sure about "over the internet, site unseen".

Anyone see this one that went on cars and bids for 35k a few days ago? Seems like a strong number for a SMG car with over 100k and no RB'S done. Interior was pretty dirty and pictures not the best, seems like the main driving force was it being Phoenix Yellow?

Yeah probably because of the color

Not an SMG, but might go cheap this time of year in the economic cycle.

It was originally SMG?

That and it had the solar sunroof vent opton The first owner specced all the options and then some.

Yeah, from memory, Kaiv got it from the first or second owner, swapped some of the parts back to stock - Vorsteiner bootlid, Meistershaft muffler, swapped it to manual, added JRZs and VOLKS, and then sold it to the current owner who added the OE CSL bootlid, Dixis muffler, shift knob, e-brake, cluster overlays, and steering wheel. I'd probably go back to factory on the last four items. New owner got an amazing car with proper parts on it and saved a lot of time, effort and cost.

Damn, just noticed that car was owned by kaiv, then mechanically sound if the current owner didn't mess it up.

Did that car actually sell? That are was listed locally for $70k.

It sold for almost half of the asking cost?

Check the comments section.

Someone had a great deal IMO

That is a weird one, I'd bet something is up with that car.

Well clearly the lower 12" have been painted and don't match particularly well... and I'm not sure if that's overspray on the exhaust tips or what, shake and bake Maaco paint style... but it doesn't appeal enough to me to spend a ton of time looking it over. I do like "Individual" and "Estoril" and can see why people like "Manual"... but other than that it's still a $40k car to me

The black outer sections of the seats were interesting to me because looking at how the leather shrinks on all of these so they separate at the same stitch points, I was just thinking to myself if I need to have mine stitched another time I'm probably doing the outer sections in black high quality boat vinyl and be done with it. I've had patio furniture done with it and notice it gives a little and takes pressure off the stitching, and in many cases it's indistinguishable from leather. I don't know if I see the value in putting the same matching leather back in so it can shrink again and cause the same problem no matter how much time and Leatherique I waste on it.
