The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

This will go the same way as the low mileage Estoril he finally sold.

Lists for stupidly high price on his site, doesn’t sell for a while. Pimps it out alllll over the internet and social media for months. Eventually lists it on BAT with a hilariously high reserve purely to drive more engagement. Finally sells to someone for quite a bit lower than current asking price.

That seems to be the playbook. Happens a lot in the Porsche scene which is his main business.

this company is somehow able to curate some pretty unique color combo vehicles, they definitely cater to the wealthy collectors that have money but don't want to do the legwork for something unique


the price though, in this day and age that's called clickbait, and it appears to be working as intended

WTF is this even

The color I'd paint mine if I ever needed to paint it. Either that or Frozen Silver, either of which will cost me a lot less than $150k.

I remember seeing the car and drooling over the color. I don't remember $150k. So maybe one of those was more real than the other, color or price.

maw

Me: Hey man, you know BMW made many tens of thousands of these? There is actually a special one, it's called a CSL.

The seller and buyer (probably): Yes, yes, yes, but this one is slate green with cinnamon.

I didn't realize he just listed the price at $150K. Holy shit what a douchebag.

"I don't like the color combo so it isn't worth $X"

[Tbonem3]

It's an aboslute joke at that price.

IMO

Makes a poor "investment" car
Makes a poor "museum/exhibition car"
It's a mediocre driver
It's too nice to be a track car
It would be at home as a weekend toy for an enthusiast who doesn't drive it hard into corners, but it'd have to be priced much lower.

At 150k honestly it doesn’t matter that it’s MK20, it’s not like someone will drive it enough to notice any difference…

That’s fair, but I still don’t see the allure at that price point. The color isn’t nearly special enough despite its “rarity” to command that kind of number — it’s only rare because it’s boring as far as Individual colors go…

Exactly. This is for a collection. Mk20 is only going to make a real difference for a tracked car. This car will never go near a track if it's even driven at all.

Still a crazy price though. Ought to be 10 miles on it for that kind of cash.

$150k for an MK20 car in a color that doesn’t show much differently than Silver Grey… lol

Tbh though the color is a cool flex, super subtle

I'm red-green color blind and can't tell a damn difference lol

Sold for $70k, wild

[Interlagos]

Not a BAT find but a pretty special spec: https://www.ryanfriedmanmotorcars.co...bmw-m3-c-2249/

This is the guy/dealer that listed/sold the 2002 Estoril E46M3 that ended in the $70K+ range. Douchebag dealer imo. Great car.
