This .1 GT3 looks like it is still available, unless it’s a scam. Priced at $175k.

That might be a scam. My buddy bought this. Definitely wouldn’t have listed it with that company.

Then it is almost certainly a scam.

He has stated before he is hedging against inflation and filling a warehouse with these cars.

I don't buy it. If you look at the carfaxes still available for many of these cars, none have been re-registered or titled. My bet is he is exporting them. He has also bought a lot of low mileage GT cars directly from dealers, so his total purchases are far beyond what we see on BaT.

CARFAX would indicate the export to a foreign country.
I have sold a few cars that were exported to Europe and the export and Country were indicated on the reports.

You're probably right, but maybe getting the paperwork from BCP takes months before it shows up on carfax whereas a registration or title transfer is usually reported within a week or two. Just based on the cars he's bought, it does not look like something for a private collection (too many near identical cars and some of average desirability). If this is an inflation hedge, it's probably the riskiest one imaginable. Just doesn't add up to me. But what do I know?

He's doing what we all should have done 5-7 years ago. Only time will tell if he's right to do it now.

I would have done it but was short by about $10 million in discretionary spending funds.

Agreed! My FU money fund was a little light to be able to do this as well.

Has anyone been watching this one?

VIN WP0AC2A93BS783357

https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...=myATCsavedcar

They had it listed at $220K where it sat for a while then bumped it to $314K for no reason whatsoever. Was up on PCA and bid to $85K two years ago with a standard wheel instead of the RS wheel, steel rotors instead of ceramics, etc. Seller had no explanation for the changes at the time, but now it has been brought back to the stock configuration. Did anyone ever see a PPI or over rev report?

there is no way….so what is worth today? I basically have the same car..39k miles clean dme..low mileage..,150k?!?!?!? now way, right?

among a lot of things I see in the pic gallery,... plastic front brake cooling ducts are completely gone on both sides,... probably from hitting track kerbs for years.

car is an excellent opportunity (nice spec), if the bidding stays as low as it should.

3 yrs ago, this car would go for $70k - $75k at most (with that mileage, condition & track accident + repair), and going back 5+ yrs ago it would have been a $60k car.

I'm trying to be nice here,... but that car has not been cared for.

I haven't researched the VIN,... but is this that red 3 that had all the track damage pics splattered all over rennlist years back? 792263 is not coming up with anything
