Default 2005 Roadster Limited at auction tomorrow

Not mine.
Up for auction tomorrow here in Greensboro, N.C.
Car is brand new with only 550 miles. I saw it in person a couple days ago.
What will it bring?

WOW ! Just WOW!
But I have a feeling it won't go much over 15k, and probably has a reserve higher than that.

Wasn't this car posted here or on Facebook before? I recall the Adrian MI dealer line.

Yeah, but it looks clean. They may have just changed it and been sloppy. However, good eyes and whomever buys it should check it out well. Cars aren't meant to just sit. I would think it would be worth about $15 to $18 but warranty is gone so someone would be buying a new car without one. Roll the dice!

And....it will probably sit somewhere else, for another couple of years.

Insane, Add 10k miles and it's worth 1/2 that at best..

The value is in the miles you drive it and you lose big bucks. There are a lot of real clean ones out there that you can drive and enjoy and if you take care of it you should get most of your money back.

You have to look at it from another angle, someone paid let's say $5,000 for their car because that was maybe all they could afford and were maybe pushing their finances at that. To someone who has money $20,000 is chump change, he/she wants the car and buys it because he/she wants it, simple. It goes into their collection or maybe they drive it and that is fine with them, they have not got the outlook of someone who is possibly one pay check away from a financial meltdown.
