When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.
Can you be a little more vague? Stated a few facts, then asked a question, of which only the answer to the question can be wrong. Paint meter readings are posted so that's just a reiteration. Then asked a question on if they knew why the muffler bracket bolts were replaced. I'm not part of the BAT cheerleaders but rather in the camp of "Transparency is key when someone is shelling out this kind of cash".

A seller might think that if they had something to hide. However, I would think a bidder would welcome any comments that might bring to light any hidden information that is not being disclosed about the car. Heck most of the opening comments pertained to the importation process of which, if anyone is bidding on a Canadian car they should already have that information sorted.
Also there is a more diplomatic way in telling a fellow member that you didn't approve of his/her comment, on another platform, than the language used.
BAT only works because of the self policing community, otherwise it would become more of a cesspool of fraud than it already is. Where was Raudi when I bought my GT3RS on BAT... I hope he wasn't keeping to himself in a corner knowing I was about to drop $20k in undisclosed items.
I was thinking about making an offer on this one since I love SY and it would be a good continuation of my 996 GT3 that I'll be replacing; otherwise, I'd get a black one and eventually strip it down to repaint Miami Blue. Still trying to mentally adjust to the price of these at the moment while it seems all other markets have softened meaningfully (996 and 991 sides). With that being said, I want a car to make mine (read: lightly modify...e.g. 3.89 R&P, interior improvements etc...) and enjoy for many years to come, not an investment. The .1 RS's seem like they are all now in investment category and they don't really offer much different of a driving experience other than being able to say you own the top of the food chain at the time, the RS.
Anyone know anything about this one? I couldn't pull up any info its past based on VIN. Grand Prix seems to have good Google reviews, are they are pretty reputable dealer? They've been pretty responsive to my questions thus far.

I wish I could see inside the engine and transmission of a car and honestly the only time I venture over to BAT is when there is link and the latest link was the black .2 where Rapid posted, "Auction Ends Today". So getting called out for posting late about something I'm curious about, well, it's people speaking without knowing the entire story.

Looks like a roll bar was installed and then removed. Also could just be the exposure but it sure looks like those rotors have seen better days, in fact better days just 3,351 miles ago.
One other thing, those screw tabs at the front, wheel area, of the front fenders are not a normal thing.

They do have a fair share of ultra woke/liberal mods. A year ago or so there was a "moke" being auctioned. I made the joke "I might buy this Moke but I'll never go woke".... I was the high bidder. BAT emailed me that I was banned. Ive bought and sold multiple cars on there. Im sure if I made a more liberal friendly joke they probably would of highlighted it and mentioned it in their weekly "recap" email... rolleyes...

that yellow car is insanely cheap. What am I missing besides the weird blacked out parts.

LOL, what are the weird blacked out parts? I'm only catching the tinted windows. It's super shiny and that yellow pops. Also, is $175,000 now considered cheap for a 997.1? Man I'm falling out of touch with this market.

He may be referring to the previous listing where there are a lot of weird blacked out parts (and at 105k, is insanely cheap these days but probably not whenever the listing was):
@DD GT3 RD The 105K car is now 175K at Grand Prix, so definitely not cheap, and at best, circa where the BAT market is for a rare color but a big premium over a white or black one.
