I went Sunday to preview the cars and was surprised to find a fair majority of the cars look much better on TV then in person. This ZR1 was nice but was not as clean in person. There is a white 1996 LT1 coupe that surprised me how rough it was. Weatherstripping was half missing and the torch red interior was not that great up close. Course the reason I went on Sunday was so I would not do something stupid like buy another car I could not afford.

I sent a video of the live steam to my wife and she said looks like I paid too much for my car. I told her the Haibeck 510 package was 10 k and I wanted more H.P. than a stock car. But what you say is true you need to see a car in person.

Thursday a 1990 Red ZR1 with over 9,000 miles just sold for $24,000.00 . Does anyone know what the seller will net after fees? Also what does it cost the buyer after their fee?

These auctions are buyer beware and yes TV lies. Now on top of that a friend told me tonight that he purchased a car at Mecum Kissimmee in 2018. Not only do you add 10% to the price but you have to pay sales tax on the entire total. So if you are high bid at $25000 then add bidders fee of $2500 so you are now at $27500. Now at least in Florida (but I bet most states) you now pay sales tax on $27500. Just keep that in mind when bidding.
