MARKET LEADERBOARD

💰 The figures shared below don’t count any other sales such as car seats, memorabilia etc..

I only include websites that have sold 5+ cars in the chart below. Which means Hagerty, PCarMarket and many others did not sell 5 cars yesterday!

🔥💥 Monday Auction Madness! 💥🔥

Yesterday was anything but typical for the online car auction world. Instead of the usual Monday blues, the market experienced a color of green, raking in a staggering $7.75m in sales! 📈💰

The MVP of the day? 🏆 Bring A Trailer. They single-handedly accounted for just over $5.1m of those sales. Their showcase? A fleet of high-end, big-ticket vehicles that had bidders going wild. 🚗💎

But, the plot thickens 😲: They were on the cusp of an even greater victory. A few sales were just inches away from crossing the finish line. Talk about edge-of-the-seat moments! 💔

In Conclusion: Who said Mondays have to be mundane? In the online car auction sphere, they're proving to be mega! 🌌🔨🎉

🔥🚗 Aristotle Onassis's 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC: A Rare Jewel at a Steal 🚗🔥

Steal of a Deal 🤑:

• Price Point: At just $615,000, someone's cruising away with a distinct piece of automotive history without breaking the bank. Especially when you factor in that it went for $345k less than the 2017 F12tdf that sold yesterday. Talk about value! 💸

• As you’ll read below, others have tried in vain to sell this beauty in physical auctions, but no luck. BaT came along and sold it right away. A win for online auctions. ✅

Trend Talk 📊:

The Red Enigma: It's an online auction mystery - the curious absence of red 330s being sold. This Rosso Cina hue, while captivating, clearly holds a niche appeal.

Custom Controversy 🎨:

• One-of-a-Kind: This isn't your run-of-the-mill 330GTC. It's a one-off order, bursting with custom options that aren't standard for the 330GTC purist. From its 4 non-standard custom tweaks, the black leather steering wheel stands out, making it a statement piece.

• Purist's Puzzle: These unique features, while setting the car apart, might've been its very challenge. Giving the Ferrari its unique essence, they perhaps raised a few traditionalist eyebrows, potentially holding back some bids.

Gossip Corner 📰:

• Jackie Kennedy Whispers: Rumor has it that Jackie Kennedy once graced this car. But here's the twist - there's no photographic evidence to back up that juicy tidbit! 📸

• Snapshot Overload: And speaking of photos, with a whopping 2466 pictures in the listing, it's a veritable feast for the eyes. A visual journey like no other!

Deep Dive 🧐:

• Auction Adventures: Twice listed during the summer, this car had its share of limelight. And the suspense at Monterey? Almost palpable when bids froze well below the $700k-$900k mark & finished at $568K.

Heart & Soul 🚀: Its heart? A roaring 4.0-Liter Colombo V12 engine and triple Weber carburetors. It's not just about the looks; this beauty's got the spirit of a champion.

My Verdict 💬: This Ferrari is a blend of history, bespoke features, and undeniable allure. For the lucky buyer, it's a treasure trove. For the rest, a lesson in the unpredictable world of auctions and the intriguing dance between tradition and innovation.

🔌🚗 2023 Lucid Air Touring: An Electric Bargain Like No Other! 🚗🔌

Absolute Steal 🤑:

• Price Point: Someone's scored BIG! At a mere $84,000, this electric marvel has been snagged for a fraction of its original MSRP of $130,550. Talk about a deal!

Lucid Lovers Speak Up 🗣️:

1. Electrifying Experience: Anyone and everyone who's had the pleasure of driving or owning a Lucid Air can't stop raving about it. The consensus? It's a game-changer.

The Vibrant Vibe 🌈:

• Color Me Red: Zenith Red on the outside, Santa Cruz on the inside – this Lucid is a looker. And with its XPEL paint protection film, it's ready to resist the elements... though it seems it's had a few minor encounters along the way.

Tech & Tidbits 🛠️:

• Packed to the Brim: Dual electric motors with a punchy 620 horsepower, a whopping 384-mile range, and features galore – from the 34-inch Glass Cockpit system to the Lucid UX infotainment system. Oh, and did we mention the DreamDrive Pro with future-ready hardware for semi-autonomous driving?

• The Lucid Legacy: Born in Arizona and crafted by the California-based Lucid Motors, the Air is their answer to luxury electric sedans, challenging giants like Tesla's Model S. With its French-inspired design and a focus on luxury, it's not just a car; it's an experience.

My Hot Take 💬: This Lucid Air is a masterpiece of modern electric automotive engineering. At its selling price, it's not just a great deal; it's a steal! Sure, it has a few bumps and scrapes, but they're just battle scars on an otherwise impeccable machine. With a starting price slashed by almost $50k, the buyer's got themselves a top-tier electric ride without the top-tier price.

In yesterday’s newsletter I highlighted six very unique auctions ending this week. Two of those auctions ended yesterday, with 1 sold and 1 unsold, see below.

Well, if yesterday's sale of the 2023 Toyota GR Supra Premium 6-Speed is any indication, I'd say it's still alive and kicking! Sold for a neat $68,000, the seller pocketed a respectable $9k profit from its original retail price. Sure, it's not the biggest flip we've seen, but in the realm of car flipping, every profit counts, right? 💸🚗

Let's dive into the details of this beauty:

2023 Toyota GR Supra Premium 6-Speed 🏁

• 🛣️ Only 39 miles on the odometer!

• 🎨 Painted in a striking 'Absolute Zero' shade.

• 🚀 Powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, paired with a six-speed manual transmission.

• 🎵 Equipped with a 12-speaker JBL sound system, 8.8" touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth connectivity.

• 🌟 Additional features include an Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system, four-wheel disc brakes with Supra-branded Brembo front calipers, and a lush black leather interior.

The seller ensured this Supra was loaded with features, including a head-up display, heated power-adjustable sport seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and carbon-fiber interior trims. With the car's pristine condition and the lingering scent of 'new car', it's a wonder it didn't go for more!

Now, for those who think this flip was a fluke, just wait till you see the next one. My belief stands firm: the flip market still has some juice left in it. So, for all the potential flippers out there, keep your eyes peeled and your bids ready! 🕶️🔍💼
