Here she is again....It didn't quite meet the reserve 1st time so this time, the LAST TIME, I am doing the unthinkable of starting the auction for my $70k car at $1 with NO RESERVE. Auction is scheduled to start at 10pm Central time tonight and the Item# is 190033585207

During the first listing, the auction had over 20 bids, +30 prospects on the watch list and +3500 hits on the counter. I also received a lot of interests, inquiries and some offers from individuals as well as dealerships around the country (one was from a dealership in FL where it was originally sold for $148k). However, the best offer from a dealership was in the low $50k.

Given the car highly publicized profile and the active participation level in the original listing, my hope is market will do an effective job of price discovery; hence, the risk of giving it away is low. What do you think?

 

It will be interesting to see what happens. Having a highly modified turbo, I can tell you that, IMHO, the market doesn't seem to ever give anything for the modifications.

I'll watch this one with interest.

Good luck with the sale.

 

I'll buy it for $2; you can double your asking price. PM me where you want the money sent.



Bro

ETA: Seriously, I would snap that up in a heartbeat if I hadn't just bought some property. Nice ride.

 

for heaven sake, with or without interest, don't just watch it ....bid it up to at least $2.

 

Was the listing pulled, or is the link incorrect?

Doh! I knew I shouldn't have cut those RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) classes......

 

Not how I would list it, but I hope it goes well for you.

 

Taking a bit of a risk there, but I think you will do just fine in the end! Good luck with the sale

 

Good luck! Why didn't you strike a deal with the highest bidder from the last auction?

 

alright, i'm the current high bidder

 

it was a dealership offerring in the low 50's. i didn't counter. this one of a kind, absolutely gorgeous and practically brand new car is it's worth a lot more than that; therein lies my decision to let the market decides.

i figure if it goes for less than my Buy It Now, my preference is for it to go to an individual. thank you for the well wishes.

Great looking car.Cleve listed his modified GT2 with no reserve as well. He was asking for $170K last year.

 

i don't know Cleve and i am almost too afraid to ask but w/ morbid curiosity, his auction didn't end at $17k, did it?

thank you for your accolade....
