The Risks of Buying Supercars at Auction

Another bad day trying to buy used Supercars at the wholesale auction. Nothing was really interesting and the few cars of interest went for way too much.

I was a sales manager at a motorcycle dealer and we had zero test rides with no issues. Even on our used bikes we didn't let them. No deposits nothing could get a test ride.

[@normalguysupercar]

I can see that motorcycles would be even higher risk for dumb things happening

[@jimjones1505]

Dude I’m buying all my parts from you guys just because I think it’s worth it..

[@normalguysupercar]

We appreciate that! Thank you

[@NA-zo1mc]

Nice Dan! Show that cyber tool what's up!

[@normalguysupercar]

LOL I did! :)

[@davidnunn9583]

Here's the way to handle the test drive issue: Tell people, if they want to buy the car, you will make the sale "subject to test drive". That means accepted, written offer and deposit. This will discourage absolutely ZERO legit buyers but will scare off test pilots.

[@normalguysupercar]

I like that

[@SoDoSoPa-ShiTpaTown]

Test drives are a part of auto sales. If you have a problem with people wanting to test drive you should get out of the business.

[@O1012-u7q]

@@SoDoSoPa-ShiTpaTownanyone who is seriously concerned about the car would get it inspected. Test drives are a bit silly

[@SoDoSoPa-ShiTpaTown]

@@O1012-u7q is it one of the other? Spending over $200k I believe I would require both a test drive and an inspection. Would you buy a home without touring it?

[@common_c3nts]

These are super cars it is acceptable to require a deposit or even a contract to test drive. Those buying the car will appreciate that you are not letting just anyone test drive them. Anyone that refuses to pay a deposit is not going to be a serious buyer. A serious buyer will not care about a deposit.

Love the Cybertruck kill story!

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha it made my morning.

[@Allanwify]

Love your content

Thank you

I love your Scud! If I had the $$$ I would seriously buy it! Have driven a Scud and it was a dream! Love the white too!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks

[@alanmoriarty1752]

Your story about how you walked the soy boy in the EV truck made my day too ! And doing it in the GT40 is perfect. the sound probably wrecked is mind. Have a great day!

[@AB-80X]

Why the name calling? Plenty of people who own several exotics also drive EV's. I'm one of them. I find my Taycan to be very comfy hence why I like it.

[@hamsterbrigade]

​@@AB-80Xcause that's where we live now. People are even calling people names because they drive different cars. The line "can't we all just get along?" is needed more now than ever.

[@normalguysupercar]

It made my day

[@BNR_248]

@@AB-80X He didnt generalise all EV owners, he name called based on the context that the driver of the cyber truck was a tad obnoxious and got humbled GT40.

[@nbaumg]

I have a red Lotus Emira in Austin TX (you might have seen me! im the only one last i heard) and I get raced by Teslas all the damn time. some have really pissed me off cuz of how reckless they are The Emira is similar to the Ford GT in that 0-60 i probably wont win (its manual too) but 70+ it will definitely destroy mostly everything on the road

[@normalguysupercar]

That's the thing that scares me about the Tesla people is they are not typically gearheads, so they really don't know how to drive for shiz.

[@sl5946]

Well I can tell you the first problem with that auction 458.....its yellow

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah not the ideal Ferrari color

[@jimcosgrove292]

I love yellow

[@brianiswrong]

Living in the uk 🇬🇧 A non returnable deposit and no test drive seems a funny way to run a used car dealership. I understand you sell high end cars but thts not the norm in the uk

[@SoDoSoPa-ShiTpaTown]

Id tell him to piss off.

[@normalguysupercar]

You didn't have the culture of wanting to be a baller like in the USA

[@Chris-mo4vk]

My 03 stock z06 beat a cyber truck from a roll as well. They’re too heavy

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya]

Very doubtful most people know enough 2 get much out of a test drive anyway… 🤷‍♂️

[@normalguysupercar]

True but that's probably why it's worse.

[@jasondueck9130]

Regarding test drives - Your policy is reasonable. A serious potential buyer will have the money for the down payment ready to go. By comparison, I bought a new C8 about 6 weeks ago, and my dealership had a Zero Test Drives policy, even with a deposit, even of used C8s. I was told that Corvette owners are extra fussy about even the smallest bit of mileage being put on their new Ferraris, I mean Chevrolets, so the dealership got tired of the drama. Sound likely? 😀

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha sounds similar. I could see people being all butthurt about extra miles on a consignment car. But for a dealer car, unless it's ULTRA low miles like

[@wconstructionco]

What about that gorgeous classic XJ?

[@normalguysupercar]

It needs to get fixed before we sell it but yes it's for sale

[@wconstructionco]

@@normalguysupercar so normal Jaguar life? 3 good days, followed by 3 months of fixing, followed by 3 good days. Man, thise 3 good days are so good though. 😆

[@normalguysupercar]

@@wconstructionco accurate

[@jimamizzi1]

With these auctions if they misrepresent the car can you get your money back even tho it’s “as is” like the one you were looking at was a 5/5 with with the transmission light on?

[@normalguysupercar]

No not if they say as is. They call that red light. Green light you can

[@JamesRoberts-h7g]

Would you share your paint guys info? I’m here in LH and need some good paint work done.

A ton of issues and work involved with that.

what's the with tesla in the shop, the white one

[@dinonoce]

Maybe you have to sell some lifted trucks to help augment your sales, LOL.

Honestly I would of I thought it would help

I would imagine selling trucks in Texas could be quite profitable...

So many do it. Hard to tap into a saturated market.

[@normalguysupercar]

It's small margins due to lots of competition but yeah, lots of buyers

[@mashsyed9808]

Makes me wonder if the market is finally going to normal or is now normal…it’s completely normal to struggle to sell these cars

[@normalguysupercar]

Ok

[@big6316]

When I had a dealership 100 years ago : ) when we put those "sold as is" notices on them, we meant it. We'd have bought back anything the customer didn't want to fix themselves because we had plenty of other customers who also wanted every car we sold. That was when Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari and other common brands were truly "exotic" i.e. good luck finding another one like it within a year and/or 5,000 miles.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah the problem now is they are 20 year old cars and people expect perfection...

[@big6316]

@@normalguysupercar Buying an "old" super car with the expectation of perfection is something people with no mechanical aptitude, poor investment instincts and fragile egos do to try to fill a hole in their soul. When it inevitably disappoints them on any of those fronts the psychic injury causes them to act like Tasmanian devils.
