Comments & Bids
I want to clarify that the Be-1 had a reserve (Minimum) price set that was not meet, so the car did not sell. Not sure why Autotrader hasn't explained this. The car is still up for sale. Please look at the car on Autotrader classics and you will see the price I have on it. Also, not sure about the comment on Japan. I am located in the Dallas Fort Worth Texas area.
Yes I'm still interested in this car. I still am the highest bidder. I realize that the bid hardly covers shipping from japan. How much more to cover your costs? Respectfully. Juan Lleonart
