So they bought a nice unmolested late model, fixed a few things but couldnt figure out the AC. Installed some questionable "OEM+" bullshit and now it's back. IDK if this dude is gonna make anything on this endeavor.

Not much action on this one. Was at 6800 dollars until couple hours left someone put a bid for what it sold for in January. Predictably "Reserve not met" and on and on she goes

I’ve never understood the idea behind collecting cars, unless you’re doing it for investing purposes (which in itself is a might not even pay off when you consider how much it costs to store those cars, only exceptions being some really rare cars that skyrocket in price every year). When you have 20 (or whatever number) cars, you’re not going to drive more than 4 of them (I’ve heard this from a guy who has a Bugatti and a McLaren in his collection). I just pick the best condition example that I can find of a car I like and drive it as much as possible. Having it sit in a garage and driving it only 50 miles a year (if that) is in no way pleasurable

he could be a business and is just churning them. BaT has become notorious for it. i've heard DeMuro is trying to chase the same thing away from his site. not sure how true that is as both places make piles off that activity.

Dude's collection is insane... and growing by the day it seems.
