Strong selling price for an R on Bring a Trailer

[dom418]

I was happy with the result of this auction especially when you tack on the 5% buyers premium. I always like knowing what these cars actually sell for.

I look at eBay as well but you have to take the “completed/sold“ listings with a grain of salt, the majority of them say sold for X but that is not actually the case and many of those cars are relisted for sale . I thing BAT gives a more accurate picture of the current market.

Indeed, a stellar price. Shadow black initially was a more difficult color to move from the showroom. I love the color, but can’t maintain black cars anymore.

Nice price. I have no idea how you put only 2k miles on that car in 4 years in a warm climate though...

A lot of people are afraid of the upkeep and maintenance. As a Shadow Black owner, having full PPF and ceramic coating is a must in my opinion. So far, both have helped eliminate all the nightmares that come associated with maintaining a black car.

Wow, $68k plus premium. Very strong money for a '16R.

Wow, that’s the same car i have (except mine is a 17) and more $ than I paid new at msrp before tax.

Really surprising price (IMO), but auctions bring out the whales. BaT is most definitely NOT an indication of current market.

All that being said, BaT has a soft spot for the R. The few R vehicles that have been listed seem to over perform, especially with low mileage (IMO). Now, A non-R.. don't waste your time. Non-R cars consistently perform very poorly on BaT (IMO), usually closing under fair trade.

BaT definitely has a type.

I disagree, but in your opinion what do you use as an indication of the market?

I'm in the business, so my tools are different.

If I had to recommend something to blend the positions (buyer vs seller), NADA prices are a good foundation.. Consumer facing stuff like eBay autos, the sold listings are valuable because of the public historical data. For a car like these, I prefer a forum for sale section.. I find them much more realistic of an average.

BaT is a premium auction platform. Dealers want all the money. Buyers want to pay as little as possible. FSBO, this is the way.
