Carfax shows any / all claims - if it hits the Carfax radar.

It's not the most reliable system which makes less owners more desirable.

Carfax showed "Minor or cosmetic damage".
The actual damage occurred in 2008 when a truck tire bounced against the rear 1/4 panel and passenger door, requiring paint on these 2 sections.
PPI was done, according to buyer :"flawless"

That's quite a good system for the buyer of a car if every insurance claim / damage is logged.

Not such a good deal for the sellers, especially of high end collector cars where even minor cosmetic damage is logged. In the UK such minor damage would not be logged, only total loss / flood damage is logged.

For this particular car I'm glad it didn't put off the buyer since it appears it really was quite minor damage.

He was concerned.
....until I provided the pictures of damage before repair.

I believe it hammered at a lower price. Close to 345 if my memory is correct. I'm pretty sure the 385 is the price with premium included. Supposedly a one owner, well maintained car. Here is a link to Auctions America

Could be a needle in the haystack - but it's extremely doubtful at 125k+ below three listed on e-bay.
I was perplexed about this sale also. I've been to auctions with a couple guys poo pooing a particular car and it ruins the "atmosphere".
Auctions are hard to call. Once I bought a car that someone wanted but didn't bid for some reason, but after I bought the car, he offered me twice what I paid. I eventually sold him the car months later at an even higher price. I've also bought things and wonder what the world was I thinking. Could be, that auction being in Burbank, still had the ghost of Walker in the room?
Was that car manufactured in 12/03?

Can't see an "educated" seller not setting a higher reserve.

I tend to get a lil competitive at auctions but a Barrett purchase is on the bucket list. Why these auctions aren't online is beyond me as I have been buying major commercial buildings thru online auctions.

Most important - twice? Congratulations!

Thanks for the congrats, I did good with that car, a 51 Nash Ambassador, $600. Great car, the seats fold down into one big bed. Lots of room for the all important luggage and other things of course. (no, it didn't come with stirrups on the ceiling.)https://rennlist.com/forums/images/editor/smilie.gif

If the car is clean and has never had any body work, it's a steal. No one here would even hesitate to buy a ten year old 911 with such "low mileage".
