@Turbinesurgeon , this is what I see:

 

19 hours left and it’s up to 16k

 

Toronto... I bet it smells nice and smoky now...

 

that should cover up the mildew smell

 

$40k + fees + whatever it’s gonna cost to import it from Canada. Unreal.

 

I show bidding went to $20.5k CAD which is about $15.5k USD.

 

That was the pre bid. It did more live.

 

i was bidding live, it sold for $40k

 

I saw it.

It sold for over 40k Canadian. add in 7.5% buyers fees, plus the about $2k to $3k USD to get it somewhere and you are at about $30k USD. It aint cheap, but if you do the work yourself maybe ok. It also was a clear title car, NOT salvage.The mileage was about 60k from what they said. US buyer had high bid if the insurance accepts. I suspect they will. Well see it around with no sunroof in a year or so, Id bet.

 

So if a '93 GTS auto (clear title, 60K mil) can sell for $30K with all that damage, is this an indication that prices for non-damaged 928s (overall) are going up?

 

I think mistaken, on my screen it appeared as USD not CDN.

 

Hi there.

You are incorrect. It was Canadian Dollars. Copart displays Canadian cars for sale in Canadian Dollars.

Thank you.

 

I stand corrected, Thank you. It was in Canadian dollars. Still, way too much money!

 

Well......not exactly. I buy about 10-15 cars per week from Copart and IAA and we often joke that we should kick a dent in a clean title car and send to Copart to make more money. There is a few reasons for this, exposure is one and the somewhat recent influx of "public" buyers is another. People love the feeling of "getting a deal" and the frenzy of live auction bidding all adds up to big prices on niche cars. All these youtubers buying wrecked exotics just adds to the insanity.

 

I guess the car didn't sell.

It was won by someone from the US, but either they didn't/couldn't pay, or the insurance company wanted more. If the insurance expect to get more, they are crazy. I suspect someone didn't do their homework on the car. 40k canadian was a solid price, honestly. After fees it was about 30K USD.

Thank you.
