Mecum sells cars to people who can spend stupid money. I was a regular attendee at the Bloomington Gold Corvette Shows when they held them in St. Charles, IL. from 2002 until they moved them back to Bloomington around 2012. Mecum was there every year auctioning off Corvettes on consignment. You could get a better deal there at the Corvette Corral where owners who didn't want their cars to go through the auction parked them with for sale signs on them. I once saw Mecum auction off a numbers matching triple black 63 fuelie for $153k.

My question would be how much the owner netted over MSRP, taxes, doc fees, etc....on the 2021 you posted about after Mecum fees. That owner could have done much better on the open market.

Mecum has the car sold at $140,250, but that includes the buyers premium.. Then you would have to add sales tax and registration depending on your state which could be 14k more.

It’s the buyers choice on how to spend his money and I guess he just had to have the car.
