The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

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....

You had me at 40k for an e46 m3. I wouldn’t buy an e46 m3 in this market.

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.

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".

That thing sounds like fucking trash with the resonator removed.

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

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.

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.

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

+/- $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.
