1996 Bronco - Overpriced vehicle of the day

I don't doubt it. I spent $92 on groceries, and I feel totally ripped off. I was able to carry the bags and six-pack in, and could've carried double.

 

Well, another not in 100k range, but another what in the world?
77 Chevette with very low miles, but still a Chevette for $21,000. I'd rather have the Mercury Colony Park that just sold for $20,000 for sure.
1977 Chevrolet Chevette for sale on BaT Auctions - sold for $21,000 on February 5, 2023 (Lot #97,628) | Bring a Trailer

 

Amen. Certainly pound for pound the Mercury was a much better buy, plus, I mean really?

 

Wow. That's crazy.

 

"Possibly the most desirable collector car ever produced by the Big Three in the latter half of the 20th Century. Gentlemen, I present for your consideration the 1977 Chevrolet Chevette." Said no one, ever.

 

How about a 72 K5 Blazer for $440,000?

We have a family friend that is a jokester. He had a Chevette for years. He always told people he had a "Vette"
Clearly omitting the fact that it was a CHE-vette, not a COR-vette.
It's always the first thing I think of when I see one of these.

 

I knew it…….. German square weave carpet. No wonder that things a half a mil all in. Wonder if they have a his and her pair.

 

Not crazily overpriced considering the usual craziness on BAT, but $23k for a 1984 Toyota camper conversion, with 217k miles (TMU) on the odometer?

I've seen Grand Wagoneers go for $50-$70k.. Never seen one go for over $100K
33k-Mile 1983 Jeep Wagoneer Limited for sale on BaT Auctions - sold for $111,000 on April 19, 2023 (Lot #104,498) | Bring a Trailer
Sold for $111,000

 

Wowzer.

 

Looks like top the 0.01 % are running out of things to buy with all their $Billions.

 

I follow a number of Wagoneer folks on some of the social medias. There have been a number of 100K+ sales over the past few years, but I don't think they have been highly publicized.

 

Why would this Mustang be above 40k?

I've concluded that BAT could be renamed "Is There A Crazy Person Who Lives Near Me With Money To Burn". If there's a couple crazy people who live close to the seller of a car on BAT with money to burn, who really, really, really *really* want a particular car, the car will be bid to crazy prices. The same car in a different state or province will not be bid to equally crazy prices if there are fewer people with money to burn. Sounds obvious, but it's true. I suspect the price that a car will be bid to depends mostly (not the only reason, but mostly) on where the car is located.

Here's a 1993 Mustang with 44k km. (~25.5k miles), not a notchback, for $CDN 35k (~$US 25.5k). Too far away to attract the same crazy prices, is my guess.

Another '93, 67k miles, also not a notchback, $US 34,900, Westville, NJ. Getting up in price, but not $US 40k.

An '89, "believed" 12.5k miles, Lutz FL, $US 35k miles.

I think if people were really looking for a particular car, they could find it elsewhere without getting caught up in crazy bidding wars on BAT.
