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) ![]() |

I sold an older Mercedes with these guys. They have an auction in Feb. that usually runs the same time as the Modernism Show in Palm Springs. I don't remember what they charge the seller but I would check out this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) http://www.classic-carauction.com/

I don't remember what they charge the seller but I would check out this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) http://www.classic-carauction.com/ I bought my 914 race car from these guys. From my limited experience with them, I’d look elsewhere. The PO of the car said it was on consignment with them, maybe they ran it thought the auction to help seller with realistic pricing? They’re nice enough, but IMO weak on the negotiation side for the seller. I bought the car after a no sale at their auction. I negotiated the price with the PO, they did nothing but show the car on their website (it was a description cut and pasted from the PO, they really didn’t know anything about the car or 914s) and facilitate the dmv transfer docs. Felt like they wanted to collect their fee and move on. The paperwork side was fast and painless, so I’ll give them that... Why not try consignment with AutoKennel or the like? https://autokennel.com/ |
