Default White S4 on Ebay - less than 60K miles and only $6K

Absolutely NO affiliation! Are the white sharks so UNPOPULAR or am I missing why the bidding is low

It looks pretty good. Engine bay is a bit rusty and the cross brace is bent. Headlights look a bit funny. Otherwise in great shape.

How does this happen?


Is that driver's bolster a bit too worn for 60K?

Is that rust on the hood?

What's up with the passenger side headlight?

There is no way that car has only 59k miles. It had 56k in 2001. CarFax: 56,270 07/17/2001.

Maybe this will be like 99.99% of ebay auctions and all the serious bidding will occur in the last few seconds?

If you look at the vehicle report it went from 53,000 in 2000 to 59,500 now and changed hands several times, but, was involed in a collision this past December, who knows what that means. The car looks neglected and we don't know what works and what doesn't and how it runs. That said a sold price of $6K amazes me, have they fallen that low?

You may be right that it'll be relisted. The winner could have been working with the seller, especially since there was no reserve. But, that doesn't change the fact the next highest bidder was only $5,550 for a S4 with 59K miles.

There is a reason for that and in my opinion it shows.

That could be questionable.

To quate JB; "It is 10K away from being a 5K car", and at 6k that leaves you 11K in the hole.
