Of all the cars I would say less than 5 were as advertised and were worth spending money on. Even the best were so so and the sellers obviously stretched to say the least the truth. We can go back to the turd widebody conversion with decals you raved so much about. That car would have been worth something if it was left alone. Instead the more money than brains club purchased it for double its value I can only assume to make a point. There is no way that car will ever fetch close to what it sold for.
I know the sister of the red Japanese import that pmax linked to on BaT sold by the same seller who has rave reviews by the BaT clan. The car was completely misrepresented. The 1 mil paint reading was actually 11 when I checked the car out and it had some seriously bad and quite obvious to the unknowing, paintwork. The owner is into the car for nearly $30k over what he paid for it and it still needs work. I can go down the list of a number of these and some were so bad that even $50k of money thrown at it still makes it a car that even Singer would pass on and yes BaT did cleanse some of the comments that should have remained. I can't imagine the advice you give to lurkers who haven't a clue I wouldn't trust what you have to say. You have on many occasions proven you don't have a clue.
I know a lot of private sellers and dealers and if you think what is paid for on BaT is too much you may be right although the cars I see sold privately with 0-little needs are selling for considerably more than anything on BaT. The difference is they spend $80-100k on an average mile 964 C2 coupe and have a later MY car that is in like new condition with little to no expense needed to fix up the crap people are not disclosing on BaT and other platforms.
So you can call me a hater I just call it the facts and yours IMO are skewed considerably.

Seems like they mentioned paint flaws in the text and showed the paint meter readings on this car (shows 10 not 1). I was surprised this car sold for so much, but then again allot of people have bought into the 964 hype recently and look past possible issues even if there clear warning signs.
The presentations on all the cars that importer/seller posts on BAT are no bueno. Putting a car on a lift, taking professional photos and detailing a car isn't that tough/costly. But then again I guess the seller doesn't need to do these things after scrolling through his past auctions prices.
