I think it's stock wing with a CF blade. It does look funny from some angles though.
Comparison to a stock wing with CF blade. The first pair of pics make it look like the wing isn't OEM. The second pair of pics makes it look like both are OEM. Hard to tell but I'm going with OEM.
Yea, that's pretty crazy to raise their auction price by 50%. Wonder if their percentage was always 5% and that remains unchanged or did that increase also?

Its odd how 7500 makes me feel like im getting screwed but 5000 just felt like the cost of doing business... its not really like people have much of an alternative either way
They figured anyone paying more than $100k for a car won't be dissuaded by an additional $1 to $2500 in fees. For a $200K car, thats still only a 3.75% buyers premium. Not saying I support the change, but from a business standpoint, it makes perfect sense. They will not lose bidders, worst case the bids are slightly lower, and that comes out of the seller's pocket, not BaTs.

Yeah, its always been 5% of auction price, min $250, max $5000, now max is $7500.

BAT is still very fairly priced, they should have a tier system based on sales price, Cars over $100K, $200K, $300K, and so on will pay a higher fee.
My guess is it would prob be counter to the business model. The terms of service is an interesting read…claiming they are 100% digital media company, thats the vail that protects them from liability for really anything.
The high end cars are a gold mine for impressions and engagement, it’s not uncommon to get 300-500k views, almost 10x the average car. With the 1.4b in sales last year they prob gross what $40-50m in fees, then add on another $20m in pure margin ad revenue at 600m unique visits?
I think they still have a ways to go attracting the high end though, Sothebys was about $1b in sales last year at double those fees…
Probably one of the worst for sale listings I've seen. No decent pictures. No PCCB, and at that price many people want that. But I agree...if it checks out it's a good deal.
965-mile white RS 4.0. PCCB’s and adaptive sport seats. Asking $795k. Was sold on BaT in July 2022 for $706k. Was part of Jan Koum's collection and sold it in 2019 with 160 miles on it.
Weird it reads exactly the same mileage as it did on the BaT auction, but the trip odometer at the time read 0 miles and now reads 1.2 miles. Also weird the original person who ordered it didn’t opt for full leather which was free on the 4.0. You could say it’s an RS and shouldn’t be clad with leather like a luxury car, but then they opted for the leather rear center console which cost extra. Also has adaptive sport seats which for me personally would be a deal breaker.
Wow, cool! I ended up purchasing the exact grey black car in this video a few months back. My poor car must have melted in the Florida heat under previous ownership only 500 miles later since the carbon trim is now warped to hell 😩. Looked perfect in this video.
