Probably because it’s too wide to fit on their trailer 😂😂
LMFAOO
@@evanshanks bro sell your amg to stradman bro plzzzzz
@@ayushya0007 lol
@@ayushya0007 If Stradman would even have the desire! He’d have to wrap it pink and chrome first 💀
i’m joking! I wonder if strad would want it
anyone going to tell him
As someone who has also spent 10 years scrolling through websites looking at these types of cars, I think you should reach out to a local exotics dealer who would love to have it. I also saw a comment for Dougs Cars and Bids, might bring you both a cool experience to have him review your cars too! Much love Evan
This!!!!
Haha, cause Dough says that! And because this idea!
Doug doesn’t review modified cars unfortunately.
@@parkertyson5757 the town car he reviewed the other day was though
@@parkertyson5757 Yes he does
Have you thought about listing it on Cars & Bids? While not as far of an audience, I've seen some extensively modified cars listed on Doug Demuro's site. Definitely check that out and see where it could go.
And typically he doesn’t do modified cars but they do pop up on the site and more importantly, Doug will take it if BAT denied it. If you ever listen to him talk about the business model, they are his main competitor and he’ll do anything to try and get a competitive advantage.
theres also Mods and Miles
To be honest, I don't typically stick around in the videos for the daily advice but today something told me to stay. I was coasting over the summer and now I am stuck at a low. This advice was what I needed. Much love Evan, keep up the amazing work.
Put it on cars and bids, they have cooler stuff anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Daddy Doug will take care of you
Father Douglas will handle it!
Hello Eli, nice to see you here.
Time to call Hunter at West Coast Exotics
Call Hunter... "Hi, is this the guy with the office next to the Women's Restroom?" 😅👍
The fact that it is more modified (faster, etc.) than the other AMGs with that bodykit could also be a risk to BAT.
Performance mods can also make the car less reliable, which would be a risk for BATs public image. Although I do not recall what mods you have done, so I do not know how relevant that is in this case.
As other people have mentioned in the comments, cars and bids could be an option. I would also definitely try to contact BAT to get more answers.
When buying a modified car you accept the reliability risk.
The whole point of BAT is you're going to pick up a unique car unique in looks unique in modification unique in shitness so you have to bring a trailer in case it breaks down for example matt from demo ranch bought a ranchtang (mustang and ranchero) which was such a botch job it was impressive how the person managed to slam the two cars together
It’s the body kit and the modifications all together that scared them away. It’s a huge risk
life is hills and valleys. Sometimes that valley ends up being a ravine, and you are as low as you can get. But, when you get out of that ravine, it will get better, and the view from the top will be so much better ❤️
i would suggest talking to someone like Hunter at West Coast Exotics in California, he has a bunch of youtubers cars and TJ Hunt has him Streethunter Widebody TT C8 there and its priced accordingly imo, not super high but high enough to get some value out of the aftermarket mods
I love how real and honest you are man 💯
You should try cars&bids.
What if you sold the AMG to West Coast exotics? TJ and many others have sold insanely rare or modified cars to them and I’d imagine you would get a good price
Drift car will better support the ability to better driving and car control vs a drag car
Sell the AMG to stradman 😂
Bruhh you took my heart
He's ruining out of money that's why he's selling his cars
I am 17 watching you since I was 9 all the way from Greece 😄. Never missed one of your videos I remember being 11 or 13 , at that time my screen time was limited to 30 minutes a day , I was saving up so every Saturday I woke up early and watched what you posted for the whole week with 20 minute breaks every 30 minutes
could do another auction site like Cars and Bids
I always love your advice at the end of every video. Thank you!
Dude you are so close to 1 million,keep up the good work.
Sorry fort he loss man, glad you’re better now! Keep up the great work. I love your content!
Hot rides in Carrollton off of highway 35 sell a lot of modified cars u can try them
If you’re thinking of selling it locally you could always take it to a cars and coffee and have a for sale sign on the car
Sorry for your loss Evan!
if you do come over i will drive from Adelaide to Brisbane and that a 22 hr drive there can wait to see you in an AU falcon
Performance modifications often devalue a car. Having them done at a reputable shop might add some value, but it’s often a sign that the car has had more parts touched and has some level of comprised reliability. That said, the right buyer would be willing to pay extra for those mods, if that’s what they would do to the car
its simple, they are a business, and just like what they said, they have their process... you cannot argue with that.
I may have missed it, but have you responded to their email asking why it was denied since there were similar vehicles listed recently? I've heard of vehicles being denied and then worse examples being listed so it seems that there may be inconsistencies in their approval process that you may be dealing with.
BaT is very inconsistent with what they let in and what they turn away. I've seen pristine examples only a week after something that would be concerning on marketplace
Spot-on about Facebook Marketplace. Every time I posted something on there for sale I had my time wasted by people with no intention on buying and then also ghosting me after making plans to meet up and sell. Just yesterday I was ghosted. Why are people like this lol.
I've seen some "Why the hell is this piece of junk on here?" on BaT so that's crappy that yours got denied
As boogie as these companies are, you already know how they rock. Theyre not just judging the car, theyre judging your brand and the content too.
Try listing on cars and bids and or try the manufacture of the body kit. Ask him if he knows any buyers he probably got more than one offer for his vehicles marketplace is not a bad place to sell a high value item you’re right about the issue of waiting through a bunch of nonsense.
contact DDE and see what they can do to help you. Also, Don't get rid of all the cars you have worked hard for wouldn't want you to regret selling it but again its your choice. I am happy to see your doing what you love to do and to see you growing I love your content keep it up and again always will be watching
Some vlogs in Kelowna with DDE and the boys at August would be sick. Dave and Damon might be a bit much for Evan tho 🤣
Fast drag car for sureeee!! Btw keep up vids I love them and helps motivate me to build my 04 wrx 😃
1:03 defo need to build a Drag Mustang, preferably the 13’~ model.
Either TJ Hunt's dealer friend in Cali or new merch/ giveaway 👀
the way he said brisbane haha
Paddlup is for selling high end specialty cars, but I think they charge a lot and deal with like REALLY high end cars, but it's worth looking into, it's basically the bring a trailer for supercars (or that's what it's advertised as).
Honestly to diversify just a little I could totally see you in a procharged C5Z or C6 (08-13) corvette on all carbon fenders and bumper full cage
I wanna build a chevette. It’s a sub 2000 lb red car. It would absolutely destroy anything with a 1000 hp k series
Idk if it’s doable or even logical in a selling aspect, first off let start off by saying I don’t have experience in selling exotics, but I’ve been watching for a long time and I know you’ve come to acquire relationships with other RUclipsrs, try reaching out to them, maybe Chris fix about eBay motors if it’s as good and resourceful as others say it is, talk to TJ about maybe selling it at west coast exotics, like I said, I know you live in Texas, maybe those options aren’t the right way to look at it, through a financial view, but it could always be worth a shot, much love Evan to you and the shanks family, hope you all have a good Christmas ❤
Woooooo! I’m so keen for you to come to aus! If you want a Miata to cruise around in while you’re here let me know!
the body kit itself yes very desirable but typically people want more stock cars over anything, theres a saying "dont buy other peoples project cars" and just bcs people are rich doesn't necessarily mean theyre stupid, maybe sometimes they are
If your popping around Brisbane definitely keep us updated on where you will be at. Would love to meet you in person man 🤝
there have been way better or "unique" cars in BAT
Look at Cars and Bids for sure but also Dallas is a hot bed for unique and exotic cars, there are alot of independent dealerships that focus on the clientele you're looking for such as Tactical Fleet. If you're willing to go a little further in Texas Novak Motorcars in San Antonio is known for specializing in modified vehicles and exotics. An auction website would likely bring more money as there is less risk to the auction site but a dealership could offer to buy the car off you if it's the kind of inventory they specialize in.
Try getting ahold of Hunter at West Coast Exotics? They seem to work well with TJ's highly modified exotics.
BoT is geared to mint OEM or (depending on the brand) subtle modifications
A matte black wide body be-winged AMG GT-R simply isn’t their cup of tea.
Cars & Bids on the other hand….
Pop out to get low Houston in march!
Let’s get Evan 1 million by New Years
As a fellow Australian, the way you pronounced Brisbane cracks me up. We don’t say it as “Bris bane”, we call it Brisbane but we say it as “Bris bin” but you have to check out the Central Coast of Australia in New South Wales
Surely if you go to Brisbane you can make it to Auckland New Zealand 😊
Let West coast exotic list it, idk how good they are but TJ be selling all his cars there lol
I would say Cars and Bids for sure
Build a c5 or c6 base vette
Try to go to more exotic car meets and keep a "for sale" sign on it when its parked. Might seem pretty dumb, simple idea but im sure people with money laying around at those meets will go for it.
cars and bids, brah! that thing will get some big looks
Just ordered the new merch :)
AutoSource of texas will sell it for u, he’s a great friend. He sold my Lamborghini Huracan for me and a Camaro ZL1 … ask for Amir, tell him BossLifeTexas sent you.
I think it would’ve cool to do a drag car Like a vette like you said, I feel like most your fans are jdm fans and drift fans but for people like myself that watches cuz I like the content but like drag racing and domestic cars a little muscle car drag build would be amazing
I would try cars and bids. Can’t hurt to try
duPont Registry could be a good way to reach the desired cash crowd
I hope this suggestion helps at least to get insight on how to sell it a bit better. August Luxury Motorcars in BC Canada. DDE uses them all the time and I've had a extended family member buy a car off them too. They were really happy on how easy the process was for buying a car one Province over lol.
Send it to TJ's guy Hunter. He's usually in his office right next to the women's restroom. 🤣
Maybe get ahold of west coast exotics in Cali? Tj goes there and I’m sure you could get ahold of hunter and get some help that way.
I'll be honest, If I were BAT and I saw this video, I would for SURE not let the listing on. This video just wreaks of sour grapes and a RUclipsr that seems to be trying to weaponize their audience towards BAT. They have a site that they curate their listings on and they aren't interested in yours. It's not a personal decision, for them, it's just not what they want on their site.
Long story short, they are 100% right. Selling modified cars is a narrow market and most people who modify their vehicles don't understand that the thousands (or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands) of dollars they dump into their car typically devalue over a stock example unless you find the one person that has a similar taste as the seller.
Well make sense … Idk why making a video about it… Modified "exotics" aren’t doing good on BAT… You’re evo would probably do better in termes of return on investment.
i've always been more into drifting than drag. sure i love going fast, but sliding sounds a lot more fun
Damn… way to assume i dont have the money that you are asking for… i mean i dont! Hahahaha but way to assume! 😂😂😂 jk makes sense! And i hope you get it sold soon 😄🙏🏽
Literally same thing they said about my Brabus G700 oh well…
It’s a major long shot but August motorcars in BC. The specialize in exotics
Try Houston Crosta ! He does the exotics rentals in Vegas he may have some people that might be interested in such a unique exotic car!
What about a purpose built streetable track car
To see that Matt from Demoranch got a botched diy mustang gt350/ranchero from BAT and that they won’t except your car is mind boggling. Matt’s mustang was a pos and needed so much work. Idk how they let some things slide and not clean builds be listed.
Evan,
I know you probably don’t read comments much anymore. But just an idea, wrap the hood scoop on the subi flat black to go with the fenders till you can get them matched
I was denied on there as well as another know site. It's a mint completely stock 2016 Escalade, lol. I was a little baffled, because I saw alot of things on there that shouldn't fit the bill. Aww well, moving on.
I have a 1969 camaro protouring with an LT5. I wanted to list it on bring a trailer with a 200k reserve. Unfortunately they don’t know what they’re doing and wanted to lower my reserve to 80k. I respectfully declined that offer and will take my car somewhere else. They love to rip people off.
Mighty car mods!!!!! They in Australia tooo
Wait USA doesnt have site to sell cars other then facebook marketplace? We have a site that has almost all the cars that are up for sale (dealers and private)
Why would you wanna sell to bring a trailer anyway.... seriously?
daily advice really hit hard today, time to look up i guess. thank you, always love the vids
Damn. Gonna have to just, give it away 😅
Good luck with the sale should try autotempest to sell the cars
Use barret jackson, if you do, it might make it on tv
Because it's yours Evan. That is the singular reason in this case. They know they car, they know it is connected to a RUclipsr and didn't want anything to do with it. I honestly think it is a detriment in cases like this.
Talk about meets... Are you ever going to go again? Been a hot minute I've been able to say hi.
Build a drag car and go on Drag Week with it.
100% they knew who you were and didnt want to see you lose the AMG
Have you thought about using eBay. That’s what me and my father have used to sell project cars that his restoration customer no longer want to continue etc etc
Maybe try via WestCoast exotic ? I know you are not in the same area at all but they take modified supercar (tj hunt) as you may know already
Got my food and snacks ready to watch you bro
Cars and Bids, Doug will list it
Cars and bids or mods and miles are probably good options for you
Evan, throw it up on Cars and Bids. Doug Demuro would more than likely love to have it on the site.
I personally wouldn’t use them for any car moving forward - don’t give them an opportunity to make money off you.
uhm... how much for the EVO 3?
Maybe ask West Coast Exotics!
Best of luck with the sale! there are a ton of listing sites now. cars and bids, collecting cars, and there is always mecum and Barrett Jackson.
No one wants to list highly modified super cars because supercar buyers are much more picky and have been known to go back after auction places for stuff there not happy with
Cars and Bids is the best place to list a car
I love your daily advice it's gone down hill this year for me as well (year and a half now) everything u said made so much sense when ur head space stays at the same level what would u do?
Take it to barrett jackson if that's a last resort lol
Drift car, drift car, drift car.
