Seems like a nice time for BAT listings...you guys will be seeing my Alfa on there in about a week or so.  ;D

Is the process that slow to get a listing?
yes, even for such an apparently easy listing as mine, I gave them hundreds of high quality photos, and a ton of information about the car and 155s in general. Still...I wait.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Half the reason I committed to buying my 328i wagon before I even had a job was because the values on BaT are so strong I knew I could probably flip it and not lose money.  :)

Not a big fan of the colour combo, but it will be interesting to see what this 15K mile 2011 328i wagon will go for. This is the ultra rare combo of RWD, manual, and sport package, and it looks like it's fresh off the showroom floor. Love the clean look without the roof rails too.



I actually like the looks of the wagon with the rails.  Looks proper on a wagon.  There's a white one i see go by my house almost daily and it's shod with either a Thule box in winter, or kayak j-channels in summer.  He also has a hitch mounted rack for his mountain bikes.

Yep...was part of the reason I got into 911s a few years back..saw the prices starting to move.

Got in and made significant money on both.
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

Perhaps the top Ferrari I would actually buy. Has to be a V12. Has to be a manual. So awesome.

I always liked the 456 GT for some reason..

I wonder how terrible of an idea buying a Mercedes GL diesel with almost 400k on it would be. $7k seems like a good price though.

1966 Dodge Dart GT Complete Car - $7500
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/d/san-tan-valley-1966-dodge-dart-gt/7137315202.html

The '65 and '66 front end looked much better than the bug eyed '63-'64 models.  Nice styling all around.

I actually think the 550 looked better, and for some reason they never looked great in red, silver was the better colour.

Agreed though, I want one too. I don't want to die having never owned (however briefly and financially ruining) a Ferrari V12.

I think it would look great with a blue exterior.

Stumbled on this very sad $4k M3/4/5 last night.  :'( Could make a good project for someone to return it back to stock. Or take that S52 and swap it into something else...

^^ Lots of rust showing on that car. And it's not just surface rust.

Yeah. Would require a serious investment to properly fix and paint the body. So maybe better as a donor, although I hate the thought of destroying an M3/4/5.  :-\

Not a bad summer cruiser for 4k$, only 105 000 km and window sticker included!
