💰 The figures shared below don’t count any other sales such as car seats, memorabilia etc… All online auction sites are analyzed to put this leaderboard together.

I only include websites that have sold 5+ vehicles in the chart below.

Today, I’m bringing back a feature that many of you really found valuable. Underneath each sale, you'll find the previous 5 online auctions for this exact model, giving you a snapshot of how the market is moving.

All these model were 4k mileage or less. Four of them were listed on BaT (2 didn’t sell) and one listed on PCarMarket.

Mileage is a major factor in the two highest previous sales, both of which have the lowest mileage among the five auctions listed.

There are not enough comparable sales online for this exact model with this trim.

Wow, you can see how these have gone up considerably in value. If you have one, lucky you! (see my review of the sale further down).

Got some interesting chatter about SBX to share, Vroomers. Remember Nik (Supercar Blondie's husband) and his platform launch? For those who've been following along, you know they've had a tough time moving those ultra-high-end cars, despite having access to Supercar Blondie's massive 120M social following.

From what I’m hearing is they're pivoting - looks like they're shifting focus to around the $100Kish range instead of those mega-dollar machines. (I’m sure they’ll still try to push 1 or 2 mega expensive ones) Smart business move? Maybe. But I can't help feeling it's a missed opportunity.

They had a real shot at owning the ultra-rare, ultra-expensive segment of the market. Based on the information and feedback I've been receiving from various sources, it wasn't just your typical startup growing pains holding them back - there were deeper internal challenges at play.

Look, they're absolutely entitled to chase whatever segment of the market makes sense for their business. If the $100K range is their new sweet spot, more power to them. But man, what could have been with those halo cars...

Right, let’s call it like it is. Even when you’ve got a showstopper like this Ford GT, a car that most of us would be happy just to breathe the same air as, you can't just throw it up for auction and expect the world to roll out a red carpet of dollar bills. You need a strategy—one that's dialed in and realistic about where the market actually sits.

In this case, the platform should’ve done more to advise the seller. When someone turns down an offer $200k above what they paid, you’ve got to question the guidance they received. Was the seller gunning for a dream number that never had a chance? It’s not like this car wasn’t special, but there’s a fine line between ambition and fantasy.

High-value listings need an expert hand, not just someone hoping for a windfall. And that’s where these auction platforms should step in: be insistent, be realistic, and make sure sellers understand what they’re getting into. Otherwise, even the most jaw-dropping car can fall short of a sale.

This is the opposite to what the above Ford GT listing was.

This 14k-mile 1995 BMW M3 Lightweight, and man, it delivered in every way. Selling for a cool $187,187, or about four times its original MSRP, this M3 was listed by one of the absolute best sellers on the platform. And when you see a listing handled with that kind of expertise, you know everything is going to be top-notch, from the perfectly shot driving video (seriously, it’s a bit magical) to the seller’s spot-on commentary.

Now, let’s talk about this car. The history and what it represents to enthusiasts on so many levels are just so damn cool. I couldn’t care less about it nmissing the iconic Vader seats. It's the essence, the rawness, the purpose-built vibe of the M3 Lightweight that makes it a standout. The seller could’ve pushed for more, but with that ‘reasonable’ reserve and the way it was presented, it crossed the finish line with a well-deserved win.
