>>27940344>perhaps boomers are just insaneIt's this.Neighbor has a hard-on for "having a Jeep". I warn him, have it looked at before you buy a used one, as they like to rust, and they are usually abused. He knows I used to run a shop that specialized in old Jeeps and military vehicles.A few weeks later he wants me to "look at the Jeep he bought". It's a YJ, not horrible looking at first glance. I get under the thing, and sure enough, the rear frame where the leaf springs are attached is all but gone, eaten up by rust. The guy has had the thing maybe 24 hours, paid cash for it and has already ordered bullshit like a winch, bigger wheels and tires, and a couple of styles of soft top.He's dumped maybe $10,000 in this hunk of shit, all because he HAD to have it NOW.Seen the same behavior more than once, and it's always some retired or semi retired boomer, who wants his toy, and wants it now.

>>27940344No they're desperate because they are overleveraged, have no retirement account, and refinanced their house, with no retirement savings.All my older relatives have put their homes on reverse mortgages because they have nothing left in their name and are leaving my cousins with nothing except liabilities. My mother only left a house with back taxes and mortgage payments that were behind. I had to cover my mom's payments before she died because even before she got sick she was like "they cant take my house from me"Boomers literally gave up because they were the first generation that had the american dream taken from them and lost the ability to retire (they do not want to keep working, they have to..) Their kids got fucked and were told to blame their parents for their predicament. Same with gen z.Not the banks or the rich who are sucking up all the money. Now they get the houses for free too.
>>27940344>this thread was funny, boomers complement seller on lack of a radio, see that radio just takes away from you driving enjoymentIt does.First off you have to realize that car audio prior to the 90's SUCKED. Then, a convertible at the best of times is a shitty acoustic environment, so even if you were in a boat it's probably better to listen to the car than crank the radio so loud it drowns out the wind noise.Then, there's the fact that this isn't a cruiser but a sports car. Sports cars are normally a bit louder/more raw which makes them an even worse acoustic environment, and they're meant for driving engagement which means listening to the the tires for traction and the wind for speed and the engine for shifting and to tell you how much power you have under the go pedal right now. (mashing the pedal at 1500RPM is not the same as 4000RPM.)The radio in my Z3 coupe doesn't work and I don't plan on fixing it. The one in my roadster works but I'm never going to use it.If I want to listen to music, that's what the 9 speaker Monsoon + 400W 12" in the Grand Prix is for. But that still gets turned off when I'm throwing the car around.
>>27946281Can't argue. Those are a gooood looking car for the price.
>>27946307>we boomers are the REAL victims here!Lol no. They didn't have the dream "taken from them" they squandered it because they grew up during the time when no high school diploma needed construction jobs were plentiful and paying the inflation and cost of living equivalent of $75/hr. So they carried that mindset through with them their entire lives and now it doesn't work anymore.

They have listed a fair number of vehicles with us, and we wanted to ensure we had all the information available to us.As the seller alluded to earlier, they have a separate account which has been used, errantly or not, to bid on this and one other auction. This bidding practice is prohibited here at Bring a Trailer, and the integrity of our marketplace is more important than allowing this auction to close. One of our top priorities is to ensure a fair and transparent auction process, and we will continue this conversation with the seller before we continue any further.We apologize for the oversight in not finding the link between the two accounts earlier and appreciate the community’s understanding as we continue to attempt to do our best in these regards. We also appreciate the users that reached out with important information that helped us establish the link.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2007-mercedes-benz-slk55-amg-13/Itt boomers are seething because a 355 horsepower bins only gathered 16,000 in bidsMost of the commenters on the auction threads ownthe same car and are just cheerleading up the price because they they own the same car
What happens when these shitboxes simply don't sell? No, dave, your 2002 corvette they only made 37 of in that autistic color combination and dealer option sold by a guy named Tim isn't worth $30,000. Do these cars simply sit in the garages until death, then the adult children either try to hawk the wares for way too much money before selling it to a dealer for below market value?
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-chevrolet-corvette-coupe-27/scroll down to the fucking comments of: Fleche_dOr. This ass writes a wall of text to try to prove his knowledge on CorVeeVee prices. basically simps for the owner for BATtit gold.BAT is a Boomer Circle jerk.Day of the Pillow.
>>27940344I paid £2000 (~$2800) for an MG B earlier this year and it's in rough shape body wise but better mechanical condition than that oneEven here in Blighty you rarely see non-V8s go above about 5 grand
>>27959596>BAT is a Boomer Circle jerk.In their defense, its basically an old forum message board to discuss cars, particularly good or rare examples or coveted cars of yesteryear. Where else are you going to go to look at perfect examples of cars you yearned for decades ago, and they're still in (sometimes) perfect condition? A random ass car forum? 4chan? The fuckin VFW halls?
>>27959562More or less, a old boy freind of mine died recently (relatively young at 68)He had THREE E Type Jaguars in various states of repair. One quite nice one, one that ran and drove but needed a bit of work and one that was a shell but he had enough spares to build 2 more cars. Also a full workshop with all the pipe benders and tig welders to make all the stainless exhausts you could ever wantHis widow sold all 3 E Types for £30k. The good one alone was probably worth £45k. A buddy of mine bought all the pipe benders and welders for under a grand. I've got 2 of his land rovers lying up a side street as they both need work but I paid £200 each for them.The ulitmate fate of "I NO WOT IT S WURTH" is your widow/kids getting rid of all your shit on the cheap to clear the space
>>27959622Yeah, I get it once you inherit your parent's shit, sometimes you just want any amount for it knowing your parents spent way too much on it and you have no interest. Land, houses, cars, china plates, collectible items, anything. I talked to one dude that for some reason still lived with his 80 year old mother, admitted he doesn't give a shit about any of her jewelry, any bit of the house, and he already planned on selling all of it for 50% of its value just to get the cash because he refused to spend the rest of his life selling his mothers antiques. He admitted he took boxes upon boxes of antique tools to a dealer and eventually lathes and other machinery in the barn to an enthusiast that enjoyed old machinery and took the first offer. Shit like $1000 for a massive lathe that is still worth $20k today because nobody had any interest and how the fuck long are you gonna spend selling a $20k lathe that needs a crane to move?Its shockingly odd how some of these high end cars get sold for 10% of their reasonable market value, but also I get it. If you have zero interest in your parents hobby because they spent more time on it than they spent raising you, who gives a shit about researching it to get a good sale? I'm still confused how some people always seem to find those deals as a buyer.
>>27956006Yes, believe the official numbers goy, its really not that bad
>>27959614Found the BoomBoom.Bait...bait never changes.
>>27959647>I'm still confused how some people always seem to find those deals as a buyer.In Britain at least it seems to be pikeys that spend every waking moment aggressively refreshing FBM so they can be first on site to slap down cash and have the car gone the same day
>>27956006Food prices alone have gone up 50-150% in the least 4 years
>>27946277That's just how auctions are. It's entirely dependent on who sees it and decides to bid on it.
>>27940329hmm, you may not know much.
>Go to results>Sort by BaT AlumniMost of these auctions are losing money except for old Porsches, early 2000s BMW M cars, and some Japanese sports cars. In spite of this, there are exactly zero (0) auctions that have finished that were truly a "deal" like how BaT was 8 years ago.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/bmw-r100-4/This dirt bag seller reniggered on a sale.
>>27946277Auctions don't always sell things at market/book value anonThat's why auctions are based. If you want to actually flip cars anymore for a living you have to be a fb marketplace Mexican scam artist or have a dealers licence.
>>27961120>Submit reserve to BaT>"Nah we swear bro it'll do better with no reserve bro"Both the seller and BaT are retarded. I'm 90% sure that you can't set a reserve anyways if the expected value is under 20k.
>>27961268>https://bringatrailer.com/listing/bmw-r100-4/Has BaT become known for comically high prices and a bit of an amusement site and no longer a good site to sell your actually rare and desirable vehicles?I'm somewhat into motorcycles but for an ancient BMW motorcycle, they're simply a pain in the ass to own. Parts are painfully expensive if any of them break or simply need to be replaced, they're temperamental, and you'd never take them on a 200 mile pleasure cruise around the countryside in fear of the stupid thing breaking down costing you $1000 to tow it back. The no reserve price too low reneging is consistent; some boomers only list their shit thinking it'll sell for $100k more than they paid for it, but lose their fuckin mind when it sells for $2500 total, and BaT takes $1000 of that for fees. You'd be better off listing it for $1500 on craigslist. Then again, boomers would rather crush a classic car or set a motorcycle on fire than sell it at a loss even if they have terminal cancer.

Going on arguably one of the biggest collector car auction sites and it doesn't meet a reserve is pretty tellling. Either his reserve is way too fuckin high, or he overpaid when he bought it. Maybe some of these covid buyers are taking haircuts trying to get rid of their "0%" loans on these toys now that times are lookin tighter soon. Either way, fuck em. Stop trying to profit tens of thousands on these toys when they'll sit in your garage for years on end while you wait for the profits to come. Use them as cars, not investment 'vehicles'.

>>27967103>Buyers are the ones paying the feesAre the fees some percentage of the total completed auction? If so, thats also stopping sellers. Even if its a flat fee, if its more than a couple hundred bucks fuck that I'll just find another car locally and buy that for the same price as the winning bid.
>>27968840buyer pays 5% of of the auction with a $5k max (i think). BaT charges your card on file immediately if you are the auction winner. It's truly a (((quality))) business model for a glorified shitty middleman.
>>27968907>5% tip as the buyerIt makes no fucking sense people paying $100k for a low mileage MR2 or whatever the fuck these retards are buying. But I guess a 5% tip to the website is trivial if you're seriously paying insane money for used cars. Even the gems that were icons for their time are cool, but supercar prices for 90s shitboxes makes less sense than buyer paying auction fees.
The 130-Mile S2000CR is coming to a close and it's only bid up to about half of what it sold for on BaT just over 2 years ago.Of course, most of the bidding actually happens about an hour away from the actual end date, I wonder if it'll reach the same price as before though.

>>27947208The comments are going way too easy on the piece of shit seller. Assholes like him are part of the reason why the used car market is retarded now.
>>27970464True. Someone posted that they think that the reason car prices are so high is that the people who can't buy a house right now are spending that money instead on cars. It seems like a good observation. You're definitely a lot of money going towards cars right now.
>>27969142imagine buying it for $200k, putting 7 miles on it in 2 years then selling it for $170k lmao

>>27946394Anon, I get what you're saying, but I believe it's always nice to have the option. It doesn't take away from the car at all because you can just turn it off. Granted, in the MG's case, you'd probably need to upgrade the alternator.It's a visceral feeling to hear the engine roar as you reach that redline, but it's not always as entrancing, especially when you have company. Sometimes I just want to drive down PCH, with the top down listening to some steely Dan. Is that so bad?
>>27972971I originally wanted a Miata, but I've given up on owning one in this lifetime.Scrolling through FBM one day though, I saw a cool, red MGB and shot the guy a low-ball (he originally wanted 1,100$).He said yes and I just went for it.Mind you, I'd never seen one before this so I was really jumping in blind. I don't regret anything though, I still think it's a really cool car and I can't wait to get it roadworthy.Minicoops are cool too, but I really just wanted a convertible roadster.
>>27946307a lot boomers are the most short-sighted, reckless, delusional people out there. i think some of it stems from not having a computer in your pocket 24/7 but some of them are just aggressively ignorant.i've noticed at least with my stepdad, some are in an infinite feedback loop of trying to "get ahead" so they hire their friends for stuff who in turn rip them off, or do shit for cheap and wonder why they're having issues. my stepdad has a diesel 4-door bmw who he kept taking to a cheap ass place for alignments and wheels, instead of taking it to a euro mechanic up the streeti had to hear him bitching about the bmw for months, and he finally takes it to the euro guys and they pretty much said "whoever has been working on your car has no idea what the fuck they're doing". i guess what i'm trying to say is, boomers feel entitled to premium service and prestige, all the while being cheap fucks who don't want to spend the money required for said premium a lot of them were on the verge of "making it" back in the day and becoming new money. instead a lot of them squandered it. most of them can fuck right off

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1995-pontiac-firebird-formula-convertible/An actual good deal shocking most of the good deals are like in the west coast where no one lives or the East Coast they never have any good deals in the midwest seem like I'm guessing I still shipping because if it's in the middle of the country it's it's as the most has the most market because if you're in the middle it's going to cost less to go either east or west but if you're in the far East or far West and it's going to cost a lot to ship it

i just found this website today, whats stopping me from bidding on an 6k on an evo and spending 1k getting it shipped?

I've been trawling craigslist for years now. Its remarkable seeing the same vehicles listed for months or years at a time with zero price changes, unwilling to negotiate, and refusing to take decent photos sometimes. Either a LOT of people are taking haircuts or they'll simply wait a few years as interest rates drop and inflation continues hoping to get that exact price "soon". Fuck people flipping stuff solely for profit. And those who are selling because they need money, fuck you for refusing to budge on price at all. That old ford you've had rotting in the field isn't worth $8500, you're late on bills sell it for whatever you fuckin can.
The world's always been full of people trying to get that one sucker for +50% and the people dumb enough to do so.Neighbor kid I lived next to a long time ago, made enough money to buy a 2011 mustang GT straight cash by the time he was 17, from reselling crates of literally anything he could get his hands on. Free from craigslist, old washer/dryer/ACs, Etc.There's always an idiot to fulfill someone's greed.It's as old as humans.
>>27983447>you're late on billsno consequences for this anymore
>>27983589Just interest payments and shit. I looked at a 70's dodge truck, told him I wanted to pay $9000. He wouldn't accept anything lower than $14k. I walked. He called me a week later offering a $9k payment, plus $4k paid over an additional 4 months. I told him hard pass on that shit, it wasn't a matter of paying or affording it but rather a reasonable price for your bastardized ancient truck. He ended up selling it online like 3 months later to someone who sent a car transport for $10k, and the buyer paid $2k to ship it. Blows my fucking mind they'll hold out for 10% more than a reasonable offer.
>>27962960you guys got that and we zoomers get overwight mexican girls with hairy arms and marketing degrees that think they're too good for us. not fair
>>27973784I'm frequently amazed when I buy a car from a reasonably wealthy old guy and find the entire thing is held together with store-brand super glue and sticky tape. I can only assume they think that by saving $5 on a genuine part and nigger-rigging it back together with glue and tape they can leverage that extra $5 into another round at the driving range

>>27946307It's so weird hearing about the shit boomers (almost always white boomers) do to fuck over their kids. I'm literally inheriting two houses and like 20 acres of land because by silent gen grandparents' own freedman grandparents bought some land and told each generation to only pass it down or sell it between relatives. It's been split up and re-consolidated as people move out of the area and now I'm first in line for both.
>>27984612Your family is based for setting up their future generations. I'm hoping to do the same thing for my kids.
>>27985633same
>>27984612and I'm sure you'll tell everyone how hard you worked and bootstraps etc etc instead of just being born on third base.
>>27985672If you're mad about it, just start taking by force :3Or keep seething, it funny!
>>27985789i'm indifferent. just using my clairvoyant space brain to flawlessly predict the future is all
>>27985795And I'm a white-hot seething ball of envy that stresses about money despite living comfortably and saving over 2/3 of my income, yet obsess 24/7 over things I can't afford to the point it's tanking my mental health. Is there a way to fix this without just zombifying myself with drugs?
>>27985847you work hard and are being responsible. shave a little money off the top and treat yourself to something nice. eventually you realize that you only feel or care about the money when it's moving and you'll get more comfortable with some moderate spending but your responsible autistic side likely wont let it get out of control.also a little joint now and then wont kill you

>>27988095Those are pretty good deals. How the fuck is that happening? $7500 for an I6 jeep manual trans in pretty good condition? Maybe the jeep nerds know about some catastrophic problem with that year jeep and thats why its suspiciously cheap. The rust on the undercarriage is a bit of a clue, I assume big pieces of the frame are rotted out or at least known to rot out.
>>27988101One trip down a bumpy gravel road and this jeep is popping all its rust bubbles.Go figure, New Jersey is all theirs world minorities who have no concept of vehicles rusting from salt use
>>27940533>boomers hate nsWhy do people say/think this?
>>27988173I grew up in the midwest and just thought cars rusting away in 5-7 years was normal. Then I discovered the internet and how boomers won't even check for rust, take their freshly purchased classic to a mechanic only for the mechanic to say its a deathtrap because the FRAME was fucking deleted by rust. Then inexplicably boomers will pay tens of thousands for a new frame and the fuckin jalopy still has problems.
>>27984612"Me" generation. Boomers grew up in the 60s and 70s, which was all about hedonism and selfishness. Then wealth fell into their laps in the 80s. All they've ever known is "live now because tomorrow we could all be dead in a nuclear holocaust"
>>27989600zoomers and gen A are apparently living like this too but with groceries. they've been priced out of everything else in life so they've settled for buying premium/expensive groceries so they at least have some thing in life to enjoy.goddamn.
>>27989731They're pricing themselves out. they have no money because they have 30 subscriptions and doordash every meal. 'Saving money' just doesn't exist in the postmodern vocabulary.
>>27988095>Modified Jeep with bubbling paint and 140k miles (I know it's the i6 but still)>First generation BMW mini>Old car nobody cares aboutNone of these are good deals considering they would've went for 1/4 of that about 4 years ago.

Wow this this threads went up for a month I forgot to tell you my number one irritation with the boomers number one on the list is red interiors they boomers they love red interiors and I think they're just disgusting red especially red leather is such a waste and so just gaudy and vileI still can't believe there's they're making red interiors for boomers this blows my mind
>>27983417>very unclear what you are seeing as there are no imperfections in the paint anywhere including on the front of the hoodRetard needs a better detailer or a better photographer.>>27988101I guarantee that diamond plate is holding the front fenders together. Seems like it's in average condition regarding the rust.
>>27983891>we zoomers get overwight mexican girls with hairy arms and marketing degrees that think they're too good for usIf they don't want any man on Earth, she can go bag a man when she meets God.
>>27947907I'm gen-x and have fuck-all retirement because we had to put the ADHD zoom-zooms in private school in a failed bid to keep them from being space-wasters when they graduated.At least my shit is paid for, but still... guess I'll have to be a burden to you taxpayers.
So what exactly do "premium" auctions entail? Just seems like an extra week for people to wait until they actually bid 2 minutes until the auction closes. A professional photographer maybe, along with an AI generated description?
>>27970878That only cost him about $4,300 per mile :^)
>>27994579Don't forget he probably paid to have it detailed, ceramic coated, and has some autistic luxury garage setup, plus the best possible insurance on it.

I know, because I'm trawling craigslist for an old truck in good shape right now and have seen shit just like it. That explains some of the postings of "from CA, no rust" and the photos show it still on the fuckin trailer. I assume people are buying these from 1500 miles away, towing them back, and immediately flipping them for $10k profits.
>>27940442>JeepsGunsTanks: Having fun with these cars should be priority number one since they are on the green hit list now. Drive them while you can, they will be banned from the roads if the EPA is not put in check. Within a decade in fact, if the GND passes.>renorealtors (The Seller): Trolls with all the negative comments. If I were not camping and riding this Holliday weekend I would have been able to dispel the guy trying to say that hot rods will be banned. No one will ever ban these cars, they will just price gas so high that junk cars that people drive lots of miles will go away. The way they will reduce ICE cars will be through super high gas prices. Hot rods and classic car owners don’t drive their cars more that a few hundred miles a year so the high fuel prices will not affect them at all.He didn't seem to care for that EPA comment. I don't think the government will discourage driving by the manipulation of fuel prices.It's more likely they'll charge a tax based on engine displacement, or implement strict emissions laws like in California.>Hot rods and classic car owners don’t drive their cars more that a few hundred miles a yearHe's basically saying boomers are only interested in driveway ornaments that aren't meant to be used.>"Ferris, he never drives it! He just rubs it with a diaper!"
>>27998255It's true people are putting less miles on their car it'll be interesting to see how much this changes the prices of used cars in the future
>>27998255The current climate change playbook as in operation in many countries including Canada (until the next election) is literally to tax the fuck out of gas, that was one of the triggers of the honkening.This is from 2018 before the Canadian carbon tax, but admittedly the Canadian tax was small potatoes compared to euros anyways. Of course notice Europeans have not stopped driving cars even with this onerous tax burden, but the plan has always been to ramp up environmental taxation but only so high as governments and corpos can profit from cap and trade rather than something that would actually really modify behaviour of anyone but broke serfs.
