Just out of curiosity, what are the Fees they collect for listing and sale?

If you do your own photos, it’s $99 to list, and they buyer pays a 5% premium. Otherwise you can have them do photos for either $299 or $399

Yeah it’s very seller friendly! I’ve never sold on there but have bought twice!

 

[Coyote]

Abe congrats, hopefully you got near what you were after!!!

I’ve always loved the looks of the final year of the C3. It’s just an LS swap away from lots of fun. With only 6500 miles better to leave this one stock.

1968 Toyota 2000GT on Bring a Trailer. Only 350 made, 109 of them being left hand drive - this is one of the 109. Triple Mikuni carbs on the straight 6, and an entire endangered forest worth of wood on the dash.

This is the stuff of dreams.

2000GT

A non factory repaint, vinyl seats (to be fair, that’s factory OEM) & an illegal licensing, but it will probably still go for a million dollars. Cool car for sure!

I missed the details on repaint and illegal licensing.... Can't seem to find that info rereading the ad again.

The ad mentions it was originally red, but is now white, and it is a California car, with Montana plates.

Ah I see it now. Good eye.

Montana plates are a huge red flag, pretty much unless the seller lives in MT, they just scream "shady licensing" to me.

It's a loophole for Californians. Lic it in Montana and they don't have to pay taxes on it

It isn’t a loophole, it is 100% illegal in California (and almost every other state). People do it because they assume they won’t get caught. Most don’t, but it is definitely illegal.

Lost revenue for said state. Colorado is no better with HMMV and LMTV's (or any military vehicle). Pretty idiotic on the states part.

It's also possible that we plebes aren't thinking like a wealthy person. The current owner probably actually owns property in Montana and the licensing isn't to an LLC that shares a PO box with 25 other LLCs and a law firm.

The car may actually be in a garage in Montana, too, and used a few weeks a year each summer, if at all. So the seller (Silver Arrow Cars Ltd of Beverly Hills) was chosen to represent the owner because he/she has a residence there, too.

Just speculating, though.

For example, if memory serves Tom Hanks' FJ40 had Idaho plates but was being listed by Bonham's in L.A. But Hanks owns a huge ranch in Idaho and the Cruiser was there. Nothing shady about it.

This one was my former FZJ80. Sold it in about 7 ish years ago and could have bought it back 4 years ago for only about $4k more than I sold it for. Sorta thought this rig would eventually make it to BAT and I don't think I'll follow the sale...just because I'll just be sick to my stomach and already at 25k with 5 days to go. Doesn't look like anything has been done to it since my mods...even the same tires. I ran this rig on many trails in CO and UT, including almost all the trails around Moab. Many good memories in that one.
