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

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

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.

Looks to me like the current seller brought this car with the intention of hooning it, found out how much of a money pit and a hooptie the car was, and is now looking to dump it onto the next unfortunate buyer (well maybe not so an unfortunate buyer given a BAT bidders, probably just a rich idiot). The fact that he only drove the car 500 miles and the fact that he threw on aftermarket exhaust/suspension/seat mods instead of fixing the AC is a major red flag to me.
