Does anyone have any experience selling a car via auction? Specifically, I am thinking about selling my six again and Gooding & Co could take it in their Scottsdale auction in January.
I advertised my car many months ago for $95k, and had lots of interest and someone bid it to $85k on eBay, but a deal was very made. I haven't been in a big hurry since I still really like the car. Gooding charges $1000 to place it in the auction, plus they take 8%-10% of the sale price. Plus the buyer pays a 12% premium. And they require no reserve for anything less than $250k. The rep I spoke with said the "expected price" in the catalog would be $80k-$100k. Hmmm... So... suppose it sells for $100k in auction, I take home $91k best case, and the buyer pays $112k. What's the best way to sell a six at the moment? BAT? eBay? Auction? 914world? Other? Thanks, Steve Attached thumbnail(s) |

BAT is the way to go. I just sold one of my cars and did much better than I expected. I will sell some more later this year. I think the best thing you can have is videos... more than one. Everyone does cold start, drive by, etc. The one video I got the most positive feedback on is one I took with a go pro mounted inside the car behind me. I just drove and people could see and hear the car in action....no commentary.
