Should engine replacement affect the price? Yes I think so. In a car with extremely low miles the value is due to the car not being used or tampered with. But this car was used hard and it was tampered with plenty.
Looks like it's in really good shape. I hope you're happy with the condition of the rest of it.Yeah baby......... just like a..........
I 100% agree that the non stop listings are watering the market down. You basically just wait and find the EXACT R you want at this point. I’m also now convinced that shill bidding is occurring on BAT. The Cella Motors car had known friends of his bidding on that car.He’s a tool. I think it’s pretty apparent what kind of person he is to everyone. I do agree that BAT is letting the trolls affect the site. That’s there choice and will probably hurt there listings which there’s no doubt it already has. I actually don’t have a problem with my car not selling. I could of worked something out after the reserve wasn’t met but I had a hard number I told myself I wouldn’t go below and I stuck to that. As for BAT, I don’t think I would ever use that site again. I asked what Hep R’s and R’s were coming up for sale when I started the process. They did tell me there were three other Hep’s before mine would go. I was ok with that. They did not disclose they were going to start dumping multiples of the same cars at the same time. That is the one thing that would have made me not use there site or waste my time with BAT. There diluting the bidding pool considerably. It’s having a negative affect on every low mileage R that‘s going up for sale on BAT. I’m sure they figure there fee’s are capped at 100k so they don’t care how they affect the sale of there site users once they attain there capped fee’s. The black R yesterday is a good example. The seller lowered his reserve at the last minute considerably to make the sale. I didn’t buy mine as an investment like many that have ”wrapper” cars did. The other big thing is, there communication sucks. They literally take days to respond to emails, even those they originate. It’s all good, I’m going to drive mine as soon as I get back in town.
Some of the folks bidding on his cars know, and are friends with Cella. I won’t give out the specific handles but you can probably figure it out. All in at $122k I would say it was not a bad buy.
There are people who can buy a GT350R but don't know the difference between there, their and they're - so nothing really surprises me these days.
