Default Barrett-Jackson C-6
Someone just paid 25k for an 07 convertible. 7000 mi.
Guess the C-6 is still holding some value!

And that’s not counting the fee!

Proof mass produced cars aren't investments and why I buy them to drive them.. Cost the owner $4 per mile discounting inflation and it's considered "good" resale.

But I'm glad some folks are preserving garage queens so I can buy them heavily discounted.

I believe it's 10% from each party.

But at least he wouldn't give his car away from some lowball bid.

Seemed like an endless supply of resto-moded C2 rolling up on the block. Selling for more $$ than original cars of the same vintage.

If I had a C2 that I wanted to drive, it would have a LS3 and M6 or A6 behind it.

If you were the seller AND the buyer you would pay both fees in addition to consignment fee and your transport to, and in this model, from the auction.

A friend sold the 67 that went for $300,000.00 on Friday evening. IIRC he said seller’s fee was 8 percent. Buyer pays 10 percent.

So hypothetically speaking....if you are considering one of two C-6's for purchase. Both are identical 2010 models..........one with 80-K miles on it for 25-grand.......the other has 15-K miles on it and it goes for 27-grand. Which one you gonna buy ?...........
