Probably not popular opinion, but since I'm planning for my next vehicle to be a truck for motocross duty, I've been on the lookout for the more street-focused X-Runner.

I just don't think I could realistically go back to that level of tech and safety at this point.

That's going to go for $25k probably

This one ended today and ended up going much lower than I expected. I didn't really look at it super closely, so maybe it was a bit rougher than I thought.

I'm just curious why this doesn't have more bids. I would think closer to $200k

I’ve looked at this a bit. I bet it’s an amazing to drive.

I don’t think it’s street legal, which I think would affect the sale. Also, I remember hearing Steve Millen saying something to the effect of, “If you find a racecar that you can afford, don’t buy it”. I’m paraphrasing, but the point is that if a racecar is affordable, there’s probably something wrong with it.

Yeah, a lot of the comments revolve around "can I make this street legal" and "only if you want to wear a helmet on the street every time you drive it."

And... it only comes with one key.

I always get pissed with sellers offering only one key. Like, WTF did someone do with the other fob!?!

Why is it that a legit Ferrari race car only has two pedals? :confused::confused:

Pretty sure that the 458 only came with paddles. I’ve never driven a gated manual Ferrari but should probably try to do that before I die. I don’t know, I care less and less about driving a manual transmission.

I mean in the case of that racing Ferrari, if goals go for 2 pedals. And it didn't sell for $99k. I would be surprised if it did. They were probably expecting $175k+. At least that's what I was expecting and more realistically north of $200k.

Edit : scratch that. Apparently they go for a lot less than I thought. Avg is $125k

I imagine it has a very small, niche buyer pool.
