I have a stock EB IX SSL with 29k on it that I plan to sell once we start seeing $100k+. Planning to sell all of 4 of mine most likely at that point, but I might hold onto my WW IX SSL in the end.

 

ThatThat's a good example of one that will be highly sought after in the forseeable future.

 

Yes, I remember that car. Can't say I wouldn't do the same...I'd have a hard time driving it. I have a hard enough time getting my car out of the garage and it's an 8 w/ 125k on the clock.

There was a near perfect, stock EB IX at MOD several years back...same car?

 

All that data is great, but I have an Evo 9 that has an almost new long block, transmission, rear differential, and pretty much every other part on the car. Everything has about 3,500 mi on it at the most. There's a roll bar installed so half the interior's taken out, So I guess it doesn't appeal to someone who wants to show it off at the local McDonald's on weekends or to people too lazy to put everything back in.
highest offer I've got for the car is $20,000.

 

Your asking price is attracting lowballers. You priced it low to sell fast, you're getting the opposite result and now wonder why that is...lol some people just cant sell stuff.

 

Your car is awesome, I personally really like it, and I hope you find a buyer for it as is. I'm also confident you already know some of what i'm about to say.

Honestly, not exactly shocking that it hasn't sold yet. It's in a weird position on the spectrum between track car and street car. It's not a full blown track car, but in its current spec it's gonna take some work to make it a more comfortable, livable street car. One that can be legally registered in the state in which it is for sale no less.

This work that would be necessary is an immediate barrier to entry for some (many?). Some that have the ability but don't want to spend the time, and some that don't have the ability. All of the above perhaps realize that for similar money they can have a car that is already more in line with their expectations of a street car. There are also people who maybe scared off by the car's history of being used for a lot of track events. What it boils down to is the car now requires a very specific buyer; one who values a pretty fresh, well sorted turn key HPDE car, who doesn't need it for primary transportation (or is semi masochistic and wants to daily something like this- wtf?), who either doesn't live in CA, or does live in CA and either a) doesn't care about it's ability to be registered legally b) is willing to reverse everything that will disqualify it from a legit smog, or c) is savvy enough to make other arrangements for registration.
Or, isn't necessarily looking for an HPDE car but values this car's track biased performance for their street car, and has the time and enthusiasm to add whatever creature comforts they need to call it a street car again.

Unsolicited advice regarding your ad:
Lacking photos. While the videos are helpful, I view these as supplemental, and not a primary visual source of information. My personal bare minimum for photos to accompany an ad on any platform:
Exterior Front, Front 3/4 left, Left side profile, Rear 3/4 left, Rear, Rear 3/4 right, Right side profile, Front 3/4 right
Interior: Taking into consideration what the car is, pictures that portray the interior and trunk condition.
Other: Engine bay, chassis/suspension stuff, anything else that can substantiate the shtload of hours you've spent on this car making it what it is.

 

I actually really want your car but I'm not ready to part ways with my current one just yet and I don't have enough garage space for a 2nd one right now. Mine still can be reverted without much hassle and is an incredibly balanced 255 tire car as it sits.

 

Yes, same car. I bought it from the original owner right after that. He actually had agreed to sell me the car prior to MOD, but then he disappeared. Then he had it in the Mitsu booth at MOD, and then he sold me the car after that. He worked for Mitsu.

 

That's why I still have it. I bought the new track car before getting rid of the old one. Now I'm stuck with the full garage plus one parked under my carport

 

Honestly, I think that is all my subconscious not wanting to let the car go. I could totally get more proactive with selling it, but I love it and want it to stick around. I am hesitant to let it go and only doing so because my common sense is telling me I don't need to track cars. And I definitely don't need three play cars.

That buyer has multiple bids and wins on multiple vehicles for right around the same price or more. Either they randomly throw money at random cars they know nothing about or there is something fishy going on.
I vote for the money laundering theory.

 

This is my gut feeling too, something is up.

Maybe trying to inflate the value for a future insurance scam? Maybe money laundering, who knows, but that just doesn't make sense. The car isn't even original.

 

nice to see the car heading to a warm city and join a nice collection

 

This is too funny, I remember years ago talking about how prices would reach these numbers for low mile evo 8/9s and was called crazy and laughed at I don't know how many times. Now when they are "something fishy is going on" some people can just never admit they were wrong or adjust to changing times...well get ready for alot more fishiness boys because this is just the beginning of the alleged car auction money laundering conspiracy!
