The Daily Vroom

Good morning Vroomers!

Yesterday was a bit of an odd one. High-end action was quiet — just 4.9% of sales cleared six figures, well below the usual 10%+ we’ve come to expect. A handful of big results trickled in across a mix of platforms, but it was slim pickings at the top.

That’s the yin and yang of this space. The flashy stuff grabs headlines, but it’s the $20k deals that keep the whole ecosystem moving. They’re the volume, the margin, the real engine behind most of these platforms. In total we saw just over of $6m worth of sales across all platforms.

Hagerty, meanwhile, kept things lively with more of their weeklong no reserve format — some surprising numbers yesterday, and another 8 set to close today.

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

YESTERDAY’S TOP 5 SALES

Plenty of strong results yesterday, but this one stood out: a Titan Metallic 964 Turbo 3.6 with just 43k miles and one of the cleanest histories I’ve seen. But here’s what made it memorable — the buyer had been lurking on the platform for nearly a decade without placing a single bid. Then, five minutes before the end, they stepped in and dropped three five-figure bids in a row to win it.

One of the rarest colors. A big number. And a reminder that, often, the real action happens in the final minute!

Your Feedback

Yesterday we asked, “What’s your biggest frustration with keeping up on car auctions?”

The results weren’t even close — over 70% of you said the same thing: there are just too many sites to keep track of.

Below the poll results are a selection of your comments.

Auctions To Keep An Eye On

This is the kind of listing that deserves a closer look. Low-mile E60 M5s with a manual are rare to begin with. But one in Interlagos Blue over Silverstone, fully sorted, and offered at no reserve. That’s worth paying attention to.

What stands out here isn’t just the spec — though the color and gearbox do plenty of heavy lifting. It’s the overall presentation. The car’s had the right preventative maintenance: rod bearings, VANOS, intake. Paint’s original with PPF. Interior isn’t just clean — it’s aged well, which is no given with Silverstone.

It’s also not a car that’s been sitting. The mileage is low, but it’s been used just enough to stay healthy. No stories, no drama — just a clean, well-kept example of a platform that still feels underpriced given what it is.

Most AMG cars feel special. This one feels mythical.

The SL70 was already rare — just 150 ever made — but this car takes it a step further. It’s 1 of 1 in Sapphire Black, factory-built by AMG, and sent to BRABUS for widebody fenders and big brakes. It's not a tribute, not a re-badge. This is the real thing, with a stamped block and AMG data sheet to back it up.

It started life as an SL600, but AMG turned the M120 V12 into a 7.1L torque monster. Nearly 500 horsepower. Five-speed auto. Massive Monoblocks. Panoramic roof. All the right bits — not added later, but ordered this way new.

And unlike a lot of garage trophies, this one’s been kept right. 58k miles. Just serviced with over €16K in fresh mechanicals. Top hydraulics rebuilt, new soft top unit, new accumulators, plugs, tires, suspension — the list goes on. It's not hiding behind rarity. It's ready.

These don’t show up often. And when they do, they’re usually half the story — no docs, no originality, or a mismatched spec. This one has the narrative, the pedigree, the look, and the timing.

This one’s not about numbers. It’s about timing.

A clean, mostly unmodified AWD turbo Eclipse GSX with just 50k miles is exactly the kind of car people say they’d jump on “if one ever came up.” And now one has — no reserve, under $10k with time left.

It’s not perfect. The auto trans knocks it out of hero spec. But that’s also why it’s survived. No teenage boost controller, no mismatched wheels, no gutted interior. Just a silver-over-gray survivor with the original leather, factory aero, and a 4G63 that hasn’t been beat to death.

These were fast, rare, and modded into oblivion. Now they’re hard to find — especially without rust, damage, or “stage 4” nonsense bolted on. And in 2025, this is a car that hits harder emotionally than it ever did on paper.

Manual or not, this is one of the best GSXs to hit auction in a long time. And as Gen X and older millennials start putting their money where their memories are, these will go the way of clean Supras and RX-7s. They already are.

Right now, it’s just under the radar. Probably not for long.
