MARKET LEADERBOARD

Sales surged to a commendable $5.4m yesterday, inching closely to the $5.3m recorded the previous Monday. A whopping $4m of this impressive total can be attributed to Bring A Trailer's sales.

Here's an intriguing tidbit I don't often delve into: the star year for vehicle sales yesterday was 2005. Interestingly, 2005 also clinched the top spot for most popular vehicle year in August. But shifting gears to this month, the spotlight shifts to 2004. The implications of these trends are yet to be deciphered 🕵️ but rest assured, I'm on the case to unearth any underlying insights.

💨 Power & Performance: Beyond its looks lies a beast. Under the hood, a fierce 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 roars, delivering a whopping 503 horsepower. It's not just a car; it's an experience waiting to be had.

My Take: Reflecting on its auction history, this model seems to face a consistent pattern. In July 2022, the same year/make/model peaked at a bid of $63,500 without a sale. Fast forward to June 2023, another one capped at $60,000, again without finding a buyer.

With this recent bid touching $57,063, one can't help but wonder: are these bids painting a clear picture of the market's valuation?? Sellers need to do their homework…
