Thanks for the feedback guys. I would say that at this point I am neither a buyer nor seller of this car. The car owner isn't an internet guy. And while he's pretty sure of what the car is worth, before he goes to the trouble of listing it and dealing with everything that goes with that in today's environment, he just asked me to double check on it. So that's kind of the point of this thread.

We see plenty of dealers with SCs that they consider a $40k car, but we almost never see one out in the open in the wild, so to speak. This is an instance where the seller wants to see the car go to an end user, and will hold a higher price to keep away the flippers and dealers. When he lists it, he will wait for that right buyer that Farrell mentions.

What do you guys think about the idea of the BAT bump? It was something the car owner asked me about. We've seen it on some cars, but on others they have just gone flat. Is this the kind of car that would warrant that sort of extra premium we've seen on some others? The seller is willing to go the extra mile with pictures and submission of the car to BAT if he is reasonably confident that is where the car will sell for the most. You would say he's torn. He wants all the money but would offer some sort of discount for a quiet quick sale to an end user that's going to appreciate the car.
