This is not meant as a bragging post, but more a spotlight on what's possible when you have a deep digital records portfolio for your specialty vehicle. My 2011 BMW 328xi 6-speed wagon recently left for a new home after five years in my possession, and the presentation on The Common Gear - which included pages of records scanned and stored going back to the last owner - helped clinch a no haggle sale.
I will freely admit there are some cars that even the most robust presentation doesn't make much of a difference on. My Audi V8 Quattro, which we'll discuss in a few days as it recently sold on Bring A Trailer, was a vehicle that was simply too obscure to benefit from an expansive overview. But it was also a car where it was inherently evident that I was not a long-term steward and was clearly looking to remove it quickly or mark it as a notch on my flipper belt (that didn't work out.)
Buyers love long-term owners, and they especially love ones that have put in the time and money to properly care for a special car. My wagon was the last of the inline-six-powered, manual transmission-equipped wagons, so it was always going to have a following - but The Common Gear made it possible to drive a very fair sale price with no haggling and a largely seamless transaction with an out-of-state buyer.
