Anyone interested? If so contact me ASAP as it's coming to auction in California tomorrow (Wed 1/7)
It has a very high condition report, a couple of minor scratches, a few chips and that's about it! :thumbup:
Seems to be missing the cargo cover and only one switchblade key/remote, but that's sort of normal for an auction car.
Decent Contis on it.

Unless someone really wants it, I seriously doubt I will overbid to buy it considering the $1100 transportation involved to bring it back here, it being the dead of winter, plus those PNW dealers will probably pay more.... they get a ton for used, decent Rs up there in the Seattle area...

Sorry about the pics but this is all there is right now

Is this that same one you posted about a few weeks ago with the little picture?

Nope, don't think so

Potentially interested, but do you have a ballpark figure of what you think it would go for?

This is becoming more bizarre
Another one in Nevada popped up being auctioned this week,
Same R but no rear park with only 39,000 miles!

One caveat this one was hit, the entire side was refinished and had minor frame damage, but...39K miles

Same car another 06 E Silver

I never do with Rs. There is always some yo yo who must have it and pays too much.
and email me, I never discuss pricing here

I looked at the interior and the sheepskin seat covers looks familiar...then I realized it was the one on eBay a month ago with the sketchy seller claiming it was a 2007.

There's also a relatively clean 2005 VR Saph/Gobi 123k on Manheim in ATL right now..

Well then someone got very screwed if, in fact, it did sell!!!

Well as I figured the vultures would be out in force.
It was a very blah auction until this came to the block, the internet bidding was the strongest I had ever seen on an R in all these years! There were at least 6 or 7 real strong bidders so the price went up real fast.

Bottom line, it sold for $12,500 before fees so figure about 13K out the (auction) door!
Too much for my blood as I would have had a 11-$1200 bill to get it here and that would be before I would have gone over it and spent more money, and at 80K miles that is the mileage where stuff starts to go bad on these cars
