Re: My BringATrailer.com Selling Experience

So do I know the KC area buyer? Hope the result got you past the break even point...not counting the mental cost of getting something ON BAT.

Re: My BringATrailer.com Selling Experience

It’ll be great. You’ve paid your BAT dues and will reap the rewards of frenzied bidding.

There may be a 1st gen 996 coming up in the coming months. 😎

Re: 996 Values going up, up, up

Re: Insurance for the 996

I got a DETAILED quote from Leland after submitting a LOT of additional info. While the price went up a little, it was fair for a collector car policy.....however...they have some restrictions on driving the vehicle. No errands, side trips, just to - from car shows and events. Not sure how they woul...
