It's bizarre you never see white with Imola Mcoupes go up for sale. Since Sunday there are now 3 for sale. Good luck with your BaT sale. It looks like you really enjoyed your ride!

MUnitedGT · 10-18-2018, 02:30 PM

It's like we all got to together to flood the market (we didn't or at least I wasn't part of the discussion)! I know when I was in the market I was looking for AW/IR specifically so I guess that's good for buyers. On the other hand...a bit hard to stress the rarity right now as 3/57 are on the market. To be fair, I didn't realize when I submitted to BaT it would be a few weeks.

I love the car, would love to keep it, and know I will regret selling...but life comes in and priorities slap me in the face...

Mar48 · 10-19-2018, 09:14 AM

It is insane, especially with two being low mileage examples, best of luck to you! Usually you can count on 1-2 for the year!

MUnitedGT · 10-19-2018, 10:42 AM

Thanks for the well wishes! Congrats again on finding a new home for yours!

wdb · 10-19-2018, 10:56 AM

Lively commentary going on there. Good luck!

APARSHr35 · 10-20-2018, 05:15 PM

Would you be interested in selling me your volks? Or if you cant change the listing since the bid already started, if you want to talk to the winning bidder and see if they want to sell me the volks?

MUnitedGT · 10-22-2018, 11:36 AM

APARSHr35, I might have been interested prior to the initiation of the auction but opted not to part out with consideration to convenience. At this point, with the auction in process, we will have to see if I can part the wheels&tires as they're part of the sale of the vehicle at the moment.

Michael9218 · 10-22-2018, 07:06 PM

Your car looks kind of familiar! I'm also in Atlanta (Woodstock). Mine also has an even rarer Madiera Walnut dash. Supposedly 1 of 5 with Alpine White, Imola seats, and the Madiera Walnut dash. Less than 20,000 miles!

GLWS!

MUnitedGT · 10-23-2018, 09:15 AM

Beautiful car Michael! Did your wheels come stock that color? Also, please don't take this the wrong way but I'm glad we're far enough I won't have(get?) to see your car regularly, if ever, as a reminder to my soon to be regret of sale.

On another note, interested in adding a driver to go with that collector

Wheels are powder coated. Love your Volks.

Sorry, I already have a "driver" M Coupe. Obviously, I'm a big fan of this chassis.

Wow! That's an awesome driver! Haha I don't suppose I could talk you into a third? Would love for her to go to a home like yours!

And I don't blame you! It's a wonderful chassis!

robertm · 10-25-2018, 12:17 PM

Congrats on the sale. Overall are you happy with the sale price and the experience with BaT in general?

Michael9218 · 10-25-2018, 02:17 PM

$29,100 is a pretty strong price. The car is nicely modded, so that helped. I bought my black car 2 years ago for $24,000. 75k stock in pristine condition.

Congrats on the sale!

MUnitedGT · 11-07-2018, 09:55 AM

Thanks everyone for your interest, comments, etc. The vehicle was sold and is on it's way to her new home. My apologies for the delayed response, things have been both a whirlwind and a lull (emotionally).

@robertm Thanks, I would say I am happy overall. I wasn't aware that BaT reserved the right to make up the difference between final bid and reserve if the reserve wasn't met. BaT had already requested a reserve lower than I would've preferred so I was preparing and would probably have preferred to part the car for private sale.

Michael9218 Thanks for the kind words! Enjoy your coupes in good health!

I wasn't aware of the "make up the difference" clause either. Interesting information, thanks.

I've heard about them insisting on reserves lower than the seller would like. I suspect that's a theme with them. Too many "Reserve Not Met" auctions would not be good for business I guess. The weird part to me is that I see RNM's at final bids that look market correct to me, which makes me wonder if there is a bias towards some cars and/or against other cars.

Thanks again for sharing your experiences.
