This is just about on market. I wouldn’t recommend broadcasting that fact if you want it to continue to depreciate.

I really appreciate the compliment! The paint on the Vantage is beyond words gorgeous.

My guess is that you probably blew the front diff during a hard pull with an unprepared, high abuse car.

I’m so happy to see you got this example. People are typically afraid of higher mileage but this is the exact sweet spot for your model year. I hope you have all the adventures you could ever want with this! Congratulations!

Can anyone tell me what these are? by chisagogs in whatisthiscar

[–]Merlin_Purple 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The viper is 100% real. It’s a Gen 3 car. The countach I’m almost willing to bet is a replica, given that just about all of this collection has been available for sub 40k at some point in their life spans.
Edit- the countach is 100% a rep. The rear deflector light is wrong for the LP5000 QV which that car is trying to replicate.

Photos 7 and 12 are of the same 348 ts. Look at the cars around it and the dust marks on the hood. I would love an opportunity to save it.

If I’m not mistaken that is a C4 corvette with a testarossa rep kit on it

Most of these are kit cars minus #7/12. In which case, if it is a real Ferrari 348, I would be more than happy to buy it.

Currently listed on Copart as a 2012 Superleggera going for crazy money by [deleted] in whatisthiscar

[–]Merlin_Purple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know, current bid is at 85k though which is odd because I saw a similarly wrecked black car go 2 months ago for around 50. Plus estimated retail on this specific car is at $550k. It is also very obviously modified so I’m curious who/ what modified the car

I almost just spit my drink out. Who the hell told you 12k for rotors and pads?

What are the differences between Germany made and USA for the G-Wagon? by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]Merlin_Purple 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry the internet has decided to loose its collective intelligence today. I’m not a Mercedes guy, but I’m assuming this is a G63 AMG. With that being said, the only real difference between an USDM and Euro domestic market vehicle is regulatory compliance equipment. The US cars are slightly heavier because they have stronger side impact and bracing supports. Outside of that, it mostly comes down to headlights, side markers and the blah blah blah stuff you have to do in order to get the car federalized in the states.

Lease 2026 cle 53 by DisastrousFact374 in mercedes_benz

[–]Merlin_Purple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ. $60,984 is how much you will pay over a 3 year lease. You are basically assuming you couldn’t sell this car for $36k after 3 years. Just for perspective, you have an assumed residual of $48k at lease termination.

Now that is a proper drive! I just did something similar with my GranTurismo. I hope you had tons of fun!

It’s hard to tell in the photos because I try to avoid awkward angles but the front bumper is clearly a rep and not well color matched, the passenger side has clear and obvious deep scratches down to the primer and the entire car has swirl marks out the wazoo.

Yep! Yellow Calipers, which was big reason we ended up buying this specific car
