The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

This is fucking stupid. I’ve owned my car for a decade. This shit ain’t a $100k car, regardless of mileage or color.

Money laundering at its best.

At a crossroads, input wanted on what to do with my M3! - NA M3 Forums

unironically would prefer owning this car over the 6 figure interlagos. and i am a sucker for a zcp.

[PSUEng]

Well, went for $120k plus $7500 in fees. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-m3-coupe-195/


New Record, unreal.

Edit: And the winning bidder appears legit. Quite a few wins.

I have the poster of this car, framed; I'll sell for $10,000 to go with the car. Unreal.

people with too much money have too much money.

I don't know what my car is worth, but I'm glad it's a driver and no where near a 6 figure bubble car.

$127,500 car. Blew right by a 100k. Smh. But whatever

^^^ Exactly... and the consequence is some BaT "member" (an email and what else?) gets banned. Maybe people care, maybe they don't. This game works whether you have a number of them or just one. "It sold on BaT but the buyer backed out... still it shows what the car is worth..." Some song about "what people do for money" or something like this...

I've never used the manual seats but I'm aware some people are after them.

maw

This looks like a really nice one. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-m3-coupe-185/

Gorgeous

I get it. Gamblers gonna gamble. Don't look for the car on the road though, which... put it right next to Tiger Woods' putter you bought at an auction not for charity that you're never going to play.

There is also this game, but I'm not sure how well it works.

Well known dealer has some number of e46 m3s in inventory.
Puts one on BAT and the dealer via a third party bids it up.
Car sells at some ridiculous jacked up price.
The rest of their inventory, and newly arriving inventory, has magically increased in value.
The car that sold on BAT reappears six months later, back at the dealer, as an "alumni" vehicle.

Because they have no intention of parting with the money.

maw

Well I think the last guy to bid 100K for fun might be a bit nervous right now. I think BAT collects the buyer fee regardless, or at least attempts to.

Value and the assignment of mileage to "low miles" are not the same thing. I said nothing of the price or "value".

Context obviously matters though. This is being priced off the bat(ha ha) as a collector level example. I would agree in this context 30k miles is not that low. <10k mi LSB examples went for less. It's way past the point of store it in the show garage grade.
