$130k service cost on 328 true?

Walks like a duck.

 

Its really hard to believe anything that he says.
If people only really knew the half of it.

 

Crazy hearing these stories and watching those videos lol

 

This is going to get ugly.

 

$1,675.00 for a pilot bearing that is maybe $30.00 at any Ferrari supplier. Nothing special about a standard sealed ball bearing. Maybe the yellow Ferrari box is worth the additional $1,645.00. Guess somebody has to pay for the first class flight to Italy.

 

Maybe one of them will buy the car with Donnie Dollars.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if it breaks $100k. It presents well and some guys…not me…have a thing for black cars. I’m going to guess the reserve is 125.

 

Although the two 328s that sold this month went for $80K and $78.5K, on January 30th one sold for $106K.

 

Good luck with sale. Hope all the bad press does not sour the sale.

 

I doubt the bids meet the reserve. This is a difficult time to sell. Buyers are very conservative at the moment.

 

The $80K & $78.5 are more typical results of recent BAT auctions. The $106K car had a reserve set @ $88K (iirc) but two bidders got into a street fight at the end to get it. Paid more than they had to imho. .

 

I don't have a clue what his reserve is, but from reading the peanut gallery comments it seems the ones that are making the positive comments aren't likely bidders. Although the owner obviously overpaid both for the car and the services, surely all that work added significant value. As long as the right bidders are in the room, I would think it would go for 125k at least. Unless the Callaway history detracts from the value for some reason.

 

Most BaT commenters never buy jack...

The work could definitely detract from the value if it was done poorly, which, judging by the lack of transparency in the invoices, seems possible.

 

I'm sure some one can find a 35 year old 328 that hasn't had any updates for sale in the $80,000 range. My guess is that you won't find a good quality 328 for under $100,000 any more.

I see a lot of very tired 308's for sale around $50-60,000. However, you won't find the nice one at that price. I have not seen this current 328 in person so I can't comment on how nice or not nice it is.

The fact is, we just went through some serious inflation. It will take a year or two for price jumps to catch up to the toy market but it will.

 

Poor invoices are very common. I work hard to make mine easy to understand but that is not the norm. Most in my opinion are intended to obscure what was done specifically. Hard to be specific and justify the expense. In my opinion its not really an indication of the quality of the work.

 

Makes people uneasy. Uneasy buyers don't spend big money. Will be interesting to see.

So far looking like a blood bath.

 

He is selling because his father has cancer and they need funds...... you almost had it right........

 

It’s 100% an indication of organization and attention to detail which is what separates the good techs from the mediocre and bad

 

All the action on most of these auctions is in the last couple of minutes. You never know?

 

So the value of a "Donnie" 180 thousand dollar "restoration" is $15,000.00. Car sold for 130K, just 15K more than the buyer paid for it from Bat a year ago.

The seller of this car, has been so amazingly calm, cool , collected. He seems like a stunning gentleman! WOW
