Thats wild.

New Blackstone oil report is out Even more aluminum and iron, this time on even less miles. Last time I thought it might be high because my Accusump exploded so maybe parts of that were in the oil, but this time I have no Accusump, no oil cooler, regular WIX filter (maybe filter sucks?) and its even higher than before. I even fixed the misfire (very recently but still)

Perfect! I think you answered your own hesitations on test drives. Dealer is a whole different ballgame of insurance coverage and tolerance to liability than a private sale, not to mention expectations are also different. If you as a seller are open to allow people to test fit and you can take them out on test drives to demonstrate that mechanically everything works fine, the only people that you'll scare off are the ones that weren't serious about purchasing to begin with. Plus if anybody is truly not sure if that's too much power for them, nobody better to demonstrate it's true power for a second or two than an experienced owner as a driver. I think you're doing the right thing by creating a listing here before BaT. It will get most eyes on it from a large portion of potential buyers who check Crocs updates on the regular. BaT will still help because internet is a very segmented place and there isn't always cross over between different sites even if the content is the same. There are people on BaT looking for a 7 that would never join or view a forum and vice versa. CarsAndBids can be an option and its free to list and you can always go from one site to the other. Like I said, internet is very segmented. There have been cars that failed to meet reserve on BaT but found the right buyer over reserve on a very similar auction site. Just remember, no such thing as too many pictures and when you're trying to sell at presumably a premium car its worth investing or taking the time to get a nice "photoshoot" going for it, even if its with a good phone. BaT listings prove that good pictures just sell better.

My advice? Reach out to BaT (or Cars and Bids, but BaT more likely) and set yourself a reserve and get more nice pictures done. This being a 620 will generate a LOT of interest in the community and on-lookers and most people bidding won't be expecting a test drive as they aren't local. With the money you'll be asking for it (without knowing what the amount is but assuming it being higher than most transact) even though justified there's a 50/50 that it wont meet reserve. Mentality in a bidding war is that they compare against other models and with this being worth more than other models people mentally will be reluctant to bid high as it will feel like "overpaying". Knowing all this, a small fee for the listing, the good pictures and putting it out there will help you market the car nationally and find a buyer even if it doesn't meet reserve. With there being so few customers nation wide that are in the market for such a thing, having most eyes on it will give you most luck. Just like selling anything it's always a game of time vs money. If you have to sell quickly you'll be at the whim of having to accept a lower offer. If time is on your side then between having a listing here and/or auction sites or other websites the right buyer will be found. With all that said it's almost perfectly reasonable to not allow anybody to drive it. Let them be passengers. You don't HAVE to let people test drive and in this niche/exotic/performance market any buyer will understand that, so many cars gets sold without test drives. Video of start up and you driving it is enough. If they are local maybe a test fit to sit into it. On a side note, what a beauty of a car! Even if the color is not my personal top choice, it carries it well. LEGO CAT! Edit: Also very surprised to see you having a single stripe with a nose surround on a 620. Typically they have either the two or the 3 stripe layout. It looks good! Edit x2: BaT has a long backlog from my understanding. Even if you wanted to list there I think wait can be up to 6 months. Being a premium member here and creating a detailed listing here until BaT gets approved is likely the best course of action

Wheels are sold. Thank you

I have this on hand. If it doesn't work I can dig mine up from the other laptop XACT3A greg map

Also Windbreaker and shoe bag. Makes nice storage for in the car.

Jacket swag for me and @FasterThanVov Typically worn for track days and cars and coffee First jacket is a custom order present Other two are F1 team branded jackets

My work lanyard

Autocorrect. Plus we all know I don't go fast enough to need anything besides engine brake. Either way fair criticism. Not sure what the floaty stuff is. That needs to go. Using your syringe currently so thank you for the long term tool rental. Will use the little tester to test other cars in the family.

Doing some deterred maintenance. Checked my brake fluid... Not too good..

Description says runs and drives. If you're interested I'd say go for it. If a McLaren P1 can be rebuild after salt water a car as simple as a 7 certainly can be.

So dove into this today Not any closer to discovering why left fails but also realized I never used Race mounts on left and did switch to race mount on right so I had a mismatched set when not on CSR mounts. Race sits a bit lower/closer to the tire. Here are some comparisons The sharpie line is how far the mounts need to move over on the back.

I always thought poster price is quite preposterous. Always planned on just printing the design myself and framing it

Oh yeah. It's annoying.
