You have to pay $48,000 for a one-family owned Kia Soul from them to be allowed back in.

After it was stolen in a TikTok challenge.

BAT of 2023 is not BAT of 2018, fully corporate, over 150 employees, 4-8 week lead times to list, have to have purchased low mileage Kia Soul with single ownership provenance.

BAT is turning into a dealership flex anymore. Seems a lot of supras, Porsches, etc are going from dealer to dealer. Seems like we’re going a full circle on some of these auctions.

They want dealers because its consistent reliable inventory to generate fee's from who generally have more realistic reserves. Its good business but goes against everything that made them an enthusiast site. This is of course just my fucking opinion.

Factory 6spd swap in a 10k-mile Supra

I was going to post this in my shop thread but a car like this deserves its own thread. I'll start off by saying initially I was hesitant to take the job because every moral fiber I had in my body told me not to molest an absolutely bone stock low mileage car but after talking to a couple guys...

For those who are not aware - Should be interesting

 

[BonestockNA]

Yes and look what it is going head to head with...

In the left corner in the white trunks, a 1 year old A91-CF state of the art, loaded, with 2,900 miles

In the right corner also in white, a 30 year old A80 mostly stock with a trans swap and 11,000 miles

 

[signalpuke]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny getting those two email notifications back to back.

Good job Toyota marketing for calling those things A90-A91.
No such chassis code exists.
Its a J29.

"The fifth-generation Supra uses BMW model code conventions, designated as a J29 series with DB model codes. However, Toyota used the "A90" and "A91" code for promotional and marketing materials for the fifth generation Supra to maintain continuity from previous Supra generations "

Yeah such continuity was maintained well with previous generation..

Very good point calling that out.

I'm sure the final bid prices will also expose the J29 as just being an insert into the A90/A91 slot. One car won't need a reserve, the other car will probably not meet reserve.

Barrett Jackson Scottsdale has 4 MKIV going on Saturday.

65k mile 97 black 6spd
53k mile 97 black 6spd
18k mile 98 quicksilver 6spd

Interesting the white MKIV is under the premium listing category. I believe this is the first time that has happened. Premium listing has typically been reserved for some really high end cars…

 

[signalpuke]

I think all of the lower mileage six speeds have been premium listings.

This supra was owned by two people, they bought it to swap and flip from day 1. Dhar was not forthcoming in his early ebay listings that it was a swap car, I called him out and he started putting it in the listings. He says he has $115k into the car to break even. The car may be nice, but the seller doesn't have a clean carfax if you catch my drift.

I remember that listing, not very transparent on the seller's part....

Looks like another F&F recreation and a Zupra were added also.

Too bad that 18k mile quicksilver car (JT2DE82A6W1002662) has such a sketchy BaT past. Looks like it was converted back to twins... Will be interesting to see how that impacts the auction.

Its really unfortunate that with the rise of values in these vehicles, there seems to be an increase of those looking to take advantage of others.

The quicksilver car has a sketchy past? Damn. I just saw that in person this past weekend. Really great shape cosmetically.

The 2 black ones were in good shape, both 15 year anniversary editions (does this increase the value?). I think the higher mileage of the 2 black ones, had exhaust and an intake. But both looked stock otherwise, but who knows what happened in past.

The orange fast/furious rep was…..horrible haha
