People like bling. When I had my shops I was amazed at what people bought. I stressed pre-purchase inspections by a reputable shop. I used to do car inspections for a couple of companies. One guy was in Russia. I would drive it, take pics and write a general narrative regarding the car.That dealer isn't too far away from me, but I know squat about them.
I'm just impressed that many people have bid on it considering the condition.
Fake bids? IDK....
