Market commentary

The TF 1500 had a whopping 63 hp over the 1250's 57 (10.5% more) and can command a premium of well over 10 percent. The bid here was reasonable; trying to hang on for a few bids more is not likely to be rewarding and only results in hauling the car home again. On a trailer the loss in mileage will swiftly eat up anything left on the table; on a transporter it's worse: preservation of principle without economic benefit.
