The 456/550/575 BaT auction thread

Frustrating that Kevin’s didn’t go first since his was done by the best. Then follow the cadence by this one.

 

yup, this will be a market test case for sure. I know I would not be selling a high-end car at the moment unless I was not able to pay the bills! This is a buyers market at the moment.

 

Yes, it’s wearing the Scarlett letters. A discerning buyer will know the difference, but that’s a small pool.

 

Me neither.

I drove mine for a good long time this morning before the Wx began deteriorating. It’s just so good. Not something that can be easily replaced.

 

Wow

9k kilometer 2001 550 in Giallo
ZFFZS49A810123469

Bat hammered for $290k

God bless America

 

PLUS fees, which are no longer capped, right?

 

That’s right, uncapped fees

 

So thats $14,500 in fees then? Oh BAT…

I do hope the new owner will do more than look at it

 

Fees I thought stepped up from $5k to now max of $7500 on BaT

 

Ahhh, that’s right.

 

Copied/pasted right off the "How BaT Works" page:

• Sellers pay a $99 listing fee, with the option to add our Plus photo service for an additional $330. There are no other seller fees on BaT.
• Buyers pay a 5% fee on top of the final sale price to BaT, with a minimum of $250, and capped at $7,500.

 

The new owner will take it up to

so it was like 300k basically

 

Take it up to 199 MPH? Cars and coffee one Sunday/quarter? The arctic circle?

 

You wouldn't know it by the close on the yaller 550 auction on BaT today...and the opening bid on the Bianco car...

 

Thanks guys, sorry for the late reply. Yes, it's the Andretti Diablo and the motor was so poorly repaired by the last (supposedly reputed) shop that had it, that it required a full tear down and a lot of machining. I thought I'd keep both cars but I find that if I'm looking for a long distance grand tourer, I jump into my stick V8 Vantage a lot more than the 550, and it was just a lot of $ to have parked in the car. Rather move it on to a caretaker who'll care for it just as well as I did, and enjoy the next thing.

However, a new wrench has come into the plans and I'm toying with the opportunistic purchase of a nicely kept manual 456GT.

I messaged you

 

My diablo is maintained buy Steve at Driven Exotics. I trust his work as he is one of the best in all of North America, IMHO. Actually not just my opinion, one of his diablos won at Monterey...which I think was one of the first Diablos to every do so. I *think* it was this one but always welcome a correction:

We are going to Gull Lake, MN for the Woods & Water II vintage boat show next week and am considering making an appointment to view the 487 mile "time capsule" Maranello. Will follow up with impressions if we end up seeing it. I know this car was mentioned in another thread, but too many topics covered there, so I'm reposting here to keep it from getting buried.

Whatever happened with that one basket case car that was barely running in the seller wanted like mid-low 80s for? Just curious if it ever sold. I recall that car need a lot of work

Anybody see this recent RNM on cars&bids? The car is in Canada, has a recent 6-speed conversion, and a major repair years ago (2007) from a crash. It’s still for sale ($135K asked) and I’d be interested in people’s thoughts about how to assess the quality of the repair and it’s effect on value.

We first starting talking about that car at this location.

I've been meaning to do a typical auction synopsis on it (just haven't gotten to it on that thread) and will and then that might help cover more discussion for you.

Should have it up later today.

 

I think it should trade closer to 110-115 due to lack of major and damage. Car looks to be solid from a conversion standpoint (with quality parts). Seats are custom, so hard to attack value, but they look nice. Not sure of quality, and I would want to know that as a seat fracture in an accident would be bad. That would be my guess. The conversion will keep valued higher than a f1, but the damage will lower the value some. Hrs to assess the quality f repair digitally, but f interested, I would get a high quality PPI and let the shop tell you what they see.

 

@otoupalik - Thanks for the quick reply!
