As we head into the final hour of the auction, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the bids, comments, and interest in the car so far. It’s wild to think she’ll be finding a new home today after so long, but I’m confident it’ll be going to a great home. I’ve done my best to document the car as thoroughly as possible through the photos, videos, and service records, and I’ll be on standby to answer any last-minute questions. Best of luck to all!May 28th, 2026 at 2:05pm EST$14,245 bid placed by @EdojanMay 28th, 2026 at 2:05pm EST$13,995 bid placed by @AfagiriMay 28th, 2026 at 2:01pm EST$13,500 bid placed by @KovalboxerMay 28th, 2026 at 1:51pm EST$13,250 bid placed by @BD450SLMay 28th, 2026 at 1:47pm ESTalex_mbz (3) Seller 0@ZAE55 The soft-close doors work perfectly, you can see them in operation in the functions test video I have provided in the listing at the 8:50 mark.
