It's like a Bentley. Wonder if the buyer got bummed when he/she realized he/she didn't order the door handle cups with deviated stitching.

if you're not receiving emails from Paul, you're missing out. His prose rocks.

this one is hard to look at. Interior is deluxe but that exterior is beyond atrocious. Am i reading that right that this was a Porsche spec'd car?

As it stands now, it doesn't look like BAS is going to make that much on this car. So far I see $3,200 profit, less the cost to get the car to the dealership, less any prep for sale costs. Looks like the only profit they might see is if they sell those seats. I'll bet they got the car and was like, wow this one is rough.

I fought hard to keep my buckets in my .2 BAS transaction. He did get my E07s, though. Not sure if he planned to resell or keep, but if someone is hunting those, would be worth reaching out to them.

That's A LOT on that cab. But I am doing my door handles in leather with orange contrast stitch like that. It's the one thing on the interior that makes no sense to me. If they were Volcano Grey I wouldn't bother. The bright silver is so out of place.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Porsche sometimes specs cars out to showcase the vast catalog of Porsche Exclusive. May have been a display car for them.

That's what I was thinking. I don't see how they are going to make much on that car.

3.5K on the car, and 14-18K on the buckets. A 17-21K flip (15%+) inside a month or two isn’t bad.

How are you getting 14k to 18k on the buckets? Have you spoke with them? Do you see them listed someplace?

From what I can see in the BAT listing photos the driver side upright bolster doesnt look very good, I can't see them getting much more than 14k, if that, for them

That's where I was going. Those are some tired looking seats.

On another note, anyone in the mood for reupholstering a driver's bucket.

$1,500

$1,500 gray bucket seat

Why do people pull this sh*t? It's a twisted way to sell a product. Why make a viewer/perspective buyer have to go through a semantic exercise?
