I have never been on BAT, so I only know what I've read from you'ze guys that are! I guess that makes me a Dumb BAT. I wouldn't say I were a Ding BAT though! The more I read of Y'all's BAT expertise, the more learned I become. If I keep on reading I think one day I'll have a B.A. in BAT. That will save me a lot of time as well not having to engage BAT. I'm thankful for that, for I don't have such time to spare. To be a genuine BATMAN though, I will need an M.A. I have no hope of that, for I don't currently have good computer to engage or do any comBAT. For now I just want to read and see what's on deck and what's at bat through all of you!

Just a little BAT humor....

The spray on bed liner as an interior was what made me laugh the most. Totally hysterical. $95k LOL

You guys may be interested to know that car was purchased by a restaurateur in the midwest as a display piece in one of his venues. I would say it wound up exactly where it needed to be.

The issue with the 964 is so few clean coupes exist. With only 5106 C2/C4, manual/Tip coupes imported to the US (minus the RSA) with thousands of them parted out, crashed and or just really bad cars it leaves very few worth buying. All those that have a nice one aren't interested in selling. If they are they will only let them go for top dollar. Although the fools who bought as an investment are starting to run scared since they bought in at the height of the market so who knows.

The sad part is the cars sold by simsimma are some of the nicer ones I have seen. There were a few sold by others that made these look like great buys and had so many issues that BaT kept deleting posts about it was on the verge of criminal.

I do apologize for the rant about LimpSuga. I really wish I had the chance to go on the drive this past weekend and meet the tool face to face. In over 40 years of being around these cars he is clearly the most clueless owner I have encountered. Seems he has an endless repertwahr of pointless comments each out doing the last.
I thought we were talking about this car regarding the paint meter.

Exactly.
Most people have no clue how "markets" work. People like this get crushed in the stock market because the Mr Market is "wrong". LOL, the market is NEVER wrong.
People often have no clue what drives prices beyond their own tunnel vision, so when they see a different pricing matrix, they have a mental breakdown. LOL.
Add stickers and sell your car for $50k more. It's so easy right? Why isn't everyone doing it? So easy! Don't you like money?
Money for nothing, chicks for free. Shoulda learned to play them drums!
The car sold for $86k. There was another bidder at $85k.
So, the car is worth $85k all day long, no matter anyone's opinion on what they think value means.
Market is what people are willing to pay, period.

People freaking about 3 warning lights (washer tank, seat belt, rear spoiler light)
UV bake ovens dry cars in 20 mins. Hardeners in paint cure time is days.
I never said it's a perfect car or that I would ever buy it.
I just said buyers may find value in $55k of receipts. (And they did)

LOL, I absolutely loved the bedliner.
So bad ass, no Fuchs given.

Ever been in a gutted track car? Yea, no carpets.
I love bare bones gutter zero frills interiors.

Bedliner, FTW. Balls out move that paid off yuuuugely that accented the car brilliantly
Such a refreshing departure from the wine & caviar CocoMat diaper treatment.

In other news, Picasso paintings are only worth $15 in canvas and $4 in paint.
Get you some stickers and bedliner !!

You're such an idiot. Do you think anybody actually listens to your ludicrous "insight".
Trip trap, trip trap.
Don't you get sick of people traveling over your bridge?

I put stickers on mine so purists would leave me alone

When I have it out they don’t even come over and look at it. It repels them
It’s great!

I think that is why I only like all black interiors - gives the impression of no frills, even if some frills are there (like super power a/c, etc.).
