Market commentary

Expensive to maintain and repair, this cars history suggests a litany of troubles that may well project forward, an inference that was also apparently drawn by the bidders here and reinforced by the sellers acceptance of a very modest price for an M1. It doesnt tell a happy story and has only faint hope of a happy ending.
