The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

Sadly today's data is corrupt and the market is artificially propped up. If your'e an armchair economist sitting around at a desk and getting your information from television then it can appear that everything is just dandy.

Everyone is effectively poorer which is why car prices have come down to "earth", it's not rocket science. Less disposable income means less toys.

Be careful - I scratched the itch with a 2004 M3 convertible hardtop in Jet Black with 40K miles (was also my high school love) and ended up with a second Imola Red M3 coupe just about a month ago…

Haha, I'm satisfied with one don't know how you guys do it.

That’s the plan, I had bid on the LSB over LSB car
on BaT a few weeks ago and the cost started to get out of hand to the point I wouldn’t want to drive it.

This car (hopefully) gets me a more enjoyable experience at a lower cost.

I don’t know if I’ll own the car forever but needed to scratch the itch and this seems like the best way to do it.

Not to take us off theme, but I don't see an economy in shambles. Not based on growth, unemployment rate or the stock market. Is the cost of living too high? Absolutely. And used car prices have come down to earth. Good Demuro video on state of the market if you don't mind his schtick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJoqnQpUWz8

Did he purchase it as a gamble on the market?

No surprise here regarding car prices with the economy in shambles. People out here are just trying to survive with everything 50% more expensive than it was four years ago. I'm guessing it'll go just under 40k.

Another auction that might indicate where market is today. Very clean Imola ZCP. Guy paid top dollar in 2020: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-m3-coupe-139/

Very sad to see that the current owner barely even put 600 miles on it in almost 4 years of ownership…
