The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

I was thinking to myself, he needs to get $100k for the car; nowadays, add $10k to that easy just in parts price changes. Hell, the oil level sensor and hood insulator have more than tripled in price since he bought those--that's $500 just right there.

It adds up quick. I spent over $2k on just the freakin rain gutters haha.

+/- $10k, I’d say about $90k. I haven’t looked at that build thread at great length, but labor is a factor in that +/- range.

For someone in the know, including the donor car - what is the +|- ten grand cost to build something like this?

Sure, but someone went out of their way to do a stupid thing to an otherwise pretty nice car. Like, why. Why do that mod to that car. Like which asshole in your life told you "this will sound good, do it." If the whole car was a basket case, that would actually be different.

And yea, the selling partner sounds pretty insufferable. The ChatGPT thing is funny. LLMs can give you a different response every time you ask the same question, as we know they basically are set up to feed into the user's preexisting biases. I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who has fucked around with AI chat to see if it's right about stuff. It's fascinating to watch people confidently quote LLMs as a source with no other backing.

hahahah. Fair.

look, I’m just sitting on sidelines watching myself be priced out of my own car.

Build thread on this forum. Looks great!

This forum is a tough crowd. In real life, people mostly don’t care.

That thing sounds like fucking trash with the resonator removed.

And the selling dealer publicly relying on ChatGPT as the source of truth is also trash.

Doesn't matter, pretty sure I could spray paint a Geo Metro LSB and the lemmings would bid.

Gorgeous!

I really like the color, something different.

I must say I expected more CSL stuff, like interior and/or full exhaust to have the title say "CSL Style".

He said a silver car with 15K miles sold for 40K.

You could get a professional windows out full paint job for under 20 grand. Swap the interior to M-texture for another 10.

Paying 100K for a blue E46 is just stupid.

But you know what they say... A fool and his money....

Lab diamonds shine just as good as real ones.
Always get exactly what you want. Pay double of triple the money for it. Otherwise you will be the one a year later wishing you didn't buy that silver car for $40k and got the blue one you always wanted.
