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

for sure…

Pretty sure this was MarcusLSB's car from the HPF days. My guess is it is on its third or fourth engine

You know what they say, "Third time's a charm", and if not then the fourth must be.

I respect the pettiness

That's an awfully cool car.

Seems to be done well.

It is a cool car, but you can tell the owner was not so happy with HPF. All the HPF badging has been removed. They even went to the extent of machining off the HorsePower Freaks lettering on the intake manifold and painting it black. IIRC, there were quite a few issues with the engine build/s.

Not BaT, but here is a fun one - https://www.properperformancemotors....E6cMy3RKy_FT6Q

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

lol price has already dropped $10k in a few weeks…

This was a great deal - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-bmw-m3-fcoupe-208

SG slicktop (a la CSL) with manual, non-heated seats, factory 6MT, MK60, seller being long term owner (15 years) and only 41K miles.

I feel like better presentation with some ZCP wheels and OE size Michelin tires would have taken this much higher. Or maybe it's the market sinking some more...

Oh hell yeah!

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.

Yeah exactly this lol

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
