Alright, folks, gather 'round. We've got a real head-turner on Bring a Trailer today, and trust me, you're gonna want to stick around for this one.

When you see mileage mentioned in an auction title, it's usually because we're talking about some barely-driven garage queen with numbers so low you'd think the odometer was broken. But this? This is something else entirely.

We're looking at a 1971 Volvo 1800E, and let me tell you, this Swedish beauty has a story to tell. The current owner inherited it from his old man back in 2019. Pops had been cruising in this ride since '78. That's some serious family history right there.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. The owner first listed this car back in July with a reserve. It didn't meet the mark, topping out at $12,500. But now? They've handed it over to one of the big dogs on BaT, and it's going no reserve. That means whatever the highest bid is when the clock runs out, that's the sale price. Gotta love that first $1 bid, by the way!!

This isn't a showroom-ready ride, mind you. It's a project car, plain and simple. But the owner's put in some serious work to honor his dad's memory. We're talking $15k dropped on a new interior and paint job, among other things. And get this - the seller even went above and beyond, Dryice cleaning the underside as a bonus. That's the kind of extra mile I like to see.

Now, the owner knows he's not getting his investment back. But that's not the point here. This is about passing on a piece of family history to someone who'll appreciate it.

If you're in the market for a project with potential, this could be your ticket. It's got that classic Volvo 1800E style, a 2.0-liter inline-four under the hood, and a three-speed auto tranny. Sure, it needs some TLC - we're talking rust in the floor pans, a cracked dash, and some missing bits and pieces. But that's part of the charm, right?

Now, remember how I mentioned the mileage in the title? Well, hold onto your hats, because this Volvo has seen some serious road time. We're talking 402,000 miles. Yeah, you read that right. Four hundred and two thousand. That's to the moon and halfway back - and I love how they’ve used that as a selling point in the title.

Bottom line: There are always interesting deals out there if you know where to look. This high-mileage Swede might just be the diamond in the rough you've been searching for. And with no reserve, who knows? You might just score the deal of the century.

Remember, sometimes it's not about the perfect car. It's about the story, the journey, and the potential. This 1971 Volvo 1800E's got all that in spades. So if you're feeling lucky, throw your hat in the ring. You've got 1 day left to make your move. Happy bidding!

We just showcased a 402k-mile car, proving there’s always something unique to be found on the auction block, no matter the mileage. Now, let’s flip to the opposite end of the spectrum—a low-mileage classic with plenty of life left, and it’s not even in the high-price range.

This 1987 Acura Legend Sedan 5-Speed has only 21k miles—a rare find for a car from the 80s, and it’s currently sitting at just $10,087 with one day left to bid. We’ll see where it ends, but this could be an absolute steal for a vintage luxury car that has many more miles ahead of it.

The seller? None other than ‘The Dude,’ one of the top names on the platform, and when he lists something, you know it’s the real deal. Straight from his personal collection, he wasn’t even planning to let this one go, saying, “I didn’t plan to sell this, but my collection’s overgrown, and cars aren’t meant to sit around.” A gem like this doesn’t come along every day.

This Legend is more than just a car—it’s a piece of history. One of the first Japanese luxury-branded cars to hit the U.S. market, it’s powered by a 2.5L V6, paired with a 5-speed manual, and finished in Ascot Gray Metallic. And it’s been well-maintained, with recent service including a new timing belt, water pump, and fresh tires. This car is ready for another 100k miles without breaking a sweat.

Whether you’re chasing high-mileage survivors or low-mileage gems, this Acura proves there’s something out there for every taste—and not always at a high price. With the bid currently at $10,087, it’s going to be exciting to see where this one lands.

If you’re after a car with style, history, and the potential to be an incredible bargain, this Acura Legend might just be your next best find.

We’ve talked about bargains and mileage extremes, but let’s dig into something that happens more than you’d think in high-end auctions: buyers not following through. It’s one of those quirks of the auction world, and it doesn’t get enough attention. Even after the auction ends and the hammer drops, sometimes the buyer just doesn’t show up—leaving the seller and the platform hanging.

Take this stunning 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series finished in vibrant AMG Solarbeam metallic. It’s an absolute powerhouse, featuring a 6.2L V8 with 631 horsepower and all the carbon-fiber elements to keep it agile. Last time it was up for sale, it fetched €695,500—but the buyer didn’t go through with it. The deal fell apart, and now it’s back on the market.

Why? Well, platforms rarely talk about this kind of thing, and in some cases, they might not even realize the buyer bailed until later. If the platform is on top of things, they’ve charged the buyer’s fee right away, but that doesn’t always work out—sometimes cards are expired, or worse, buyers issue chargebacks to avoid paying the auction fees altogether.

It’s frustrating, but it’s part of the game. Whether it’s a failed payment or buyer’s remorse, deals like this SLS AMG sometimes fall through. And that’s not even touching on other common issues like cars not being as described, shill bids, or even disputes over mileage and condition.

So, here we are again—this rare Mercedes-Benz is back on the block, and for someone ready to follow through, it’s a chance to grab an incredible car that nearly slipped through the cracks last time.
