The BaT thread for the cars we won't buy, but kinda wish we would

[JST]

Love to drive my RHD wagon with no AC through Alabama.

Obviously there’s a market for that car but I’m not sure who it is.

I mean it sold for $20k so I guess there was a market. I don't really get it either but whatever.

I don't know if he hires someone, but his pictures for actioned vehicles are incredible

The seller on BaT... no... He is a dealer in Portland who takes cars on consignment. He uses a pro photographer for the pics... High end stuff... But, it isn't cheap. He is also picky as to what he takes on...

My friend is in Bend and has a VERY interesting collection. A collection he is paring down a bit... He is the friend who, after years of prodding, convinced me to start looking at Porsche's. We know where that ended up.

Oh, yeah, that guy's auctions are always worth checking out. Nice presentation and interesting stuff. Same with w0b in LA and 1600veloce in NY.

Holy fox body. Some people have way to much money. Sigh

16 miles on that turd and the driver's headlight is out of alignment with the marker light. Gotta love Ford quality back in the '90s.

I feel bad for the winner of this one. He's a little past the warranty period, and he's gonna need it. Unless, I guess, it continues to sit with 16 miles on the odometer for the next 28 years.

The only reason you buy something like this is so you can park it in your collection while it "appreciates."

Sometimes I think about what I'd do if I had "fuck you" money, and I think one of the first things (after buying up all the Z4s I could find and crushing them one by one) would be buying up as many ultra-low-mileage turds and daily driving them. In winter. In upstate New York.

I think you may be the uber Carmudgeon of us all—and possibly of all time!
