73k for a duster you are a fool
they made to many imoI could see if the right planets were in the alignment...
Very high level elite survivor.
Maybe very high quality OE restoration (quality that would have/take a $80K+ resto bill)
or combination of those with combinations of very high desirable options: V21 hood, 4 speed, folding sunroof, desirable paint color
Damnit! I didn't build the new garage big enough or I'd take you up on that offer!Give me 73K and you can have both of my cars.
It is on my bucket list to someday buy a quality car at one of these auctions. Can somebody verify how the fees work?
Using this car as example, the buyer pays $73,700 for the car and another 12% buyer's fee for a total walkaway price to the buyer of $82,500. (and gov't sales tax, title fees etc of course)
Meantime the seller gets the $73,700 minus a 10% sellers commission and therefore actually gets only $66,330.
So the buyer is actually paying about $85K and the seller is actually getting $66K. Is this right?
This then brings up the question when discussing car values around the water cooler do we say this car is worth $66K or $85K?
Actually the decent deals are off camera. Camera time adds value.Why would you personally want to buy at these auctions? That's just like asking to pay full retail highest price available for something. And you don't get to inspect the car as well with a private sale.
These auctions are dumping grounds for cars with "issues". Yes, there is "eye candy" with nice $150K cars. But there's much more lesser vehicle you don't see on TV that are bad.
The beauty of the selling prices is it brings all our cars up in value.
The bad thing is it brings all our cars up in price (parts, rust buckets, donor cars, project cars etc)
That is for sure. Otherwise it is an ago trip for you.There's really no beauty in it until the day you sell everything off and get out of the hobby for good.
Until you do run across that "Too good to be deal?" It happens.There's really no beauty in it until the day you sell everything off and get out of the hobby for good.
Last night some guy whose name I can't remember had his entire collection on the auction block. The Daytona, Superbird and AAR Cuda I mentioned in my other post, plus hemi powered cudas & challengers, plus a couple of 440 Six-Pack powered challengers. He also had some Boss 429 Mustangs that went for big money, W30 Olds 4-4-2s, special edition Mustangs and Torinos, a couple of Shelbys. None went for under six figures. They were still running his cars across the block when I went to bed and he'd already racked up over $6 million in sales! All were non-reserve.
Well I have an all factory steel ‘74 Dart Sport that has wide lip quarters so did my rusty ‘70 Duster that puzzles me,Did the aftermarket quarters have an even wider lip?
hopefully a 69 Hemi Daytona??? You knew someone would have to say it!!Last night at the Mecum Auction a 1970 Hemi Daytona sold for $770,000! Then right behind it a 1970 Hemi Superbird sold for $775,000! A non-restored, all original Pink Panther AAR Cuda sold for $345,000! Crazy!
I agree. I have been to lots of the Scottsdale auctions over the last 15 years. Many cars are built for the auction ie look nice on the surface to those who don't know the car. Its the worst place to buy.Why would you personally want to buy at these auctions? That's just like asking to pay full retail highest price available for something. And you don't get to inspect the car as well with a private sale.

God forbid it has the wrong hood scoop.
