Mecum Auction (Houston)

[suprmn]

Saw today while watching the Mecum Auction live via webcast they sold a 2012 Kona Blue/White Boss 302 (like new) for only $39,000!

This was a California shipped car. No other information on it.

Grabber blue and white GT350 clone? Saw that one too.

Don't forget the 10% buyers commission. So the real price paid
Was over $ 43k!!

 

[F.D. Sako]

i thought the commission would be deducted from the price of the car?
i guess both buyer and seller end up paying a fee.

I was there and bidding and quit at 34k and sold for 39,000. It was a 6% buyers premium so 41,300 is not a good price for a auction vehicle with zero warranty and no test drive, nothing. I was phone bidding on it so it was 8% to do it that way as I had left after bidding on the 2011 Shelby, which I stopped at 42k, as it can be had for 47k if you look around.

You just never know. To bad I was not in the market for BMW, Mercedes, or Porsche as these are given away. If you sign up at Mechum you can see the prices paid.

Does seem a strange thing to go through i wonder if a dealer panicked and dumped it

Must be speculation by a dealer. Prices seem pretty consistent on web sites and there is still adequate supply of used and even new BOSS cars at or below MSRP.
