Eliminators on the Market (February 2023)

Auction month is past. A few new listings in the past month or so, and some recent sales.

BEWARE OF SCAM LISTINGS OF ELIMINATORS FOR SALE!
Scammers are using pictures from legitimate listings (old and current) and passing them off as their car that is for sale, at prices well below market value. Always verify the car is real and the VIN is legitimate by checking with the CCOA or Eliminator Registry.
Also be sure to order your own Marti Report. Scammers have been doctoring Marti’s and changing VINs. Marti will not charge you for an invalid VIN.
Never send a deposit without confirming there is actually a real Eliminator associated with the listing.
And as always, remember that if it is too good to be true then it is probably a scam.

*IMO, this is a reasonable buy-in for a beautiful car that could be driven and shown off. Just do your due diligence: “car was built from three cars in the mid 90s and considered a rebody by the current eliminator experts”.

SOLD! Headed for Rhode Island.

S99 hammered sold to an internet bidder at $37,000. Mecum charges 12% for internet and phone bidders instead of 10%, so actual amount paid by winner will be $41,440, not the $40,700 that the website will show.

Price reduced to $34k!
