Auction started yesterday with a $10,000 opening bid. BIN is $127,900

After only one day the bidding is up to $105k, the reserve has not yet been met and there are 8 days left on the auction.

Plus there is a brand new ebayer who pushed it over $100k.

Not passing my sniff test............

And I know prices are rising and it has less than 2000 miles but the seller is a dealer who is looking to flip it after buying it from another dealer.

Anyone know what the most recent sale price was before the flip?

Was sold by this dealer:

For Real!

Started off at $10k, then it just sky rocketed but it doesn't look too kosher to me............ I wish this is true, then I would at least slightly consider selling mine but what will I buy then! Keeping it!

I believe it is an honest ad.

I suspect the dealer is trying to set a watermark and feeling out prices pre-spring. I wouldn't be surprised if the collectors are doing some serious reconnaissance on all low mileage collectible NSXs prior to the new car's launch. I wouldn't consider it a smart buy at $120k - but I wouldn't be utterly stunned if someone puts down that cash for the car. I have no doubt an ultra low mileage 2005 NSX will be a $120k car within 5 years (including inflation adjustment)

I believe it is an honest ad.

I'm not saying it's a dishonest ad, but I question the bidding. Who bids up from 10k to over 110k in the first 24 hours on a 10 day auction?

ah - good point. hadn't really noticed that. Kinda odd.

 

[piran1]

Probably got a friend to bid it up to create hype and get entice one real bidder to actualize the amount. If they don't get a legitimate bid, they'll mutually cancel the bid.

The person who bid it up has 0 feedback, go figure.

And the reserve at $110k isn't met?

I had it as a one owner car, 10 miles as of 2005 in state of Montana.

For sale Cars dot com 6-2015 priced at $99.3 K.

No comment(s) on listing and bid history.

It certainly looks GREAT! :biggrin:

84000 GBP (buy it now price) it probably what would be asked for it in the UK (if it were RHD and a uk car), maybe closer to 100,000 GBP ( 150,000 USD) to be honest but the market is a lot smaller, so not as much competition, but on the flip side, not as many potential buyers

 

[Lostbuckeye]

If I could sell mine for $127K, I would be buying the new NSX asap.

 

[Brylek]

The car is somewhat local to me, I can go see it if anyone is seriously interested.

 

[Jinks]

This car definitely looks like a gem, but it carries a gem price. I'd rather buy this car and a supercharger rather than the new nsx.

 

[95nsxtc]

I love the guys like this on ebay. the BIN is insane to me but thats not really my problem, i guarantee these guys have the reserve at like 125... i jus love vehicles that go up for "auction" when they are just clearly trying to market it essentially for cheaper and not really willing to deal. Im currently bidding on a car where their reserve is only 2.9% less than their BIN

 

[blue_myriddn]

If I could sell mine for $127K, I would be buying the new NSX asap.

List it in the spring for $130k and see what happens.

Bullshit detector going off like crazy:

Opening bid of $139,900?!?!

Nice fleabay shill bidding.............

 

[neuronbob]

Wow. Only a dummy or collector would pay that much with the new NSX only a little more than this asking price.

And isn't shill bidding on EBay an account-ending offense, if proven?

 

[blue_myriddn]

Dunno what your bank account looks like, but $50-70k is quite a bit more than "a little more".

I especially like the way it's photographed parked outside the gates of a presumably lavish estate. Yes, OUTSIDE. How do I know it's on the outside? Because if the estate actually belonged to the owner, he would photograph it in front of the house, not just next to the gates. :biggrin:

I'm assuming base price.

 

[The Kid]

Looks like it was sold to Wilholt, and is on eBay again at a higher number. He specializes in ultra collectible Porsche 993 Turbos, might realize the potential of this collector piece.

LOL ! Look at the rest of the cars they are selling. Same backdrop. Very akward angles.
