Holt is 45 minutes from me if anyone would need some eyes on this one.

Not sure how I'd feel if I had to keep one clean, but these cars look fantastic in black.

I love it, but not to own it. I'd feel like I would have to wear white polyester pants with white slip-on shoes that have little tassels and a light baby blue Tommy Bahama shirt. And I would need a thick white mustache. Apologies to anyone matching this description.Or Wayne Carini. Not bagging on your look.

I'm blown away by the $30k service/repair bill on a 6900 mille car. So the last owner buys this on PCAR Market for $185k with fees, then needs to spend $30k to make the car right. That's $215k all in for a bare bones spec, black 7.2.
What did the first owner do that this car that required new struts, new axles, new rotors and pads on all corners, etc. At least the next owner will get a well sorted car, but the last owner certainly took a bath on this. No way Holt paid anywhere near $215k.

kudos to that service department for the biggest screw job of 2023… 60% of that invoice was not needed unless he Ferris bueler jumped it off some train tracks. It does kinda read like it sat for a very long time though.

Prior owner’s “1st gear crunchy” comment just created an opportunity for someone to steal this one.

I’ll add that I have bought from Ryan before and it was a very good experience.

Looks like it doesn't have much traction. Those pictures, a crunchy first gear and those pictures are keeping it down. You can tell those rotors are shot.

Can change to Girodiscs - worst case.

RNM at $202.5k. Seems like a fair price for that car honestly.

They were into it for more than that. My broker tried to buy that car before they had it.

It's a 1 of 41 car. People are funny sometimes. Regarding the brakes - it looks like the previous owner clearly stated the PPCB's weren't used for track

I mean my heart wasn’t in it, but I’d totally take that bet at 200k.
