At eight o'clock the next morning, the opening ceremony of the North American Classic Car Sacramento Auto Show...
Tickets to enter the car show are $5.
Hathaway had work, so she went in first.
Chen Mo was at the gate, looking at his watch and listening to the opening ceremony host's introduction to the car show. At half past eight, a Lamborghini SVJ drove over.
"Why are you here now?" Chen Mo was tired of waiting. He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, guiding him to drive the car to the parking lot.
"Somewhat overslept."
Chen Mo had already bought the tickets and entered the exhibition. The opening ceremony had ended and the auction had begun.
Today is the opening ceremony, the highlight of the auction. It's still early and there will definitely be many people who can't make it. The highlight is scheduled to start at 10 o'clock.
The two went directly to Warehouse No. 1, which was guarded by many security guards.
The whole warehouse was crowded with people queuing up.
Ordinary people have to line up to visit, but there is also a VIP channel, and customers with top black cards from major banks can enter directly.
Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou both had black cards, so they entered the warehouse showroom directly. The entire large warehouse was full of Lamborghini models. There seemed to be more than thirty cars, and some of them were older than Chen Mo.
A detailed introduction to the car is posted on the car...
“The Countach LP5000s from 1978 was awesome.”
"Like it?" Chen Mo said.
"I like Reventon, and lm002 is also good. Antique cars are not my favorite..."
"I like Revington, lm002 is good, I will give it to you later."
Bai Xiaoou clasped his hands in his fists: "Thank you, but no need. I have two sports cars at home, and I am having a hard time raising them now. If you like, you can buy them for collection. Raventon's collection potential is limited, unless you have enough financial resources to buy more.
A few units came back and raised the market price. But most of the super rich in the United States don't like Lamborghini, and most of them are young rich people. lm002 is a good car..." lm002 There are two cars here, one white and one black...
"The transaction price does not exceed 700,000 US dollars. You can buy it back and collect it. It's not necessarily how much money you can make. At least how much you can buy it for, and how much you can sell it for." Bai Xiaoou said after reading the vehicle introduction.
The Lamborghini LM 002 is an SUV based on the base Cheetah, which adds luxurious wood and leather to the interior, a spacious cargo area and a 5.2-liter Countach V12 engine that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds.
From 1986 to 1993, only 301 were produced, of which only 48 were built to U.S. specifications and delivered to the United States.
lm 002, it is basically impossible to buy a new car. A few years ago, a broken lm 002 entered the United States. The initial price was US$160,000. After several years of mechanical restoration and facelift, the car was auctioned in New York for
Sold for nearly $500,000.
The same is true for the two current cars. After repairs and cosmetic facelifts, the paint on the cars looks more high-quality.
The seats and interior of the car are brand new... Except for the manufacturer's license plate... which is the serial number of Lamborghini lm 002, you can't say it is an old car, but it is not a new car either. Its odometer shows
Literally over 10,000 miles...a professional factory restored vehicle.
At North American classic car shows, you can often see brand-new classic cars with decades of history, and these are restored models.
Driving an LM 002 out is definitely more stylish than driving a supercar. And it also has modification potential... This was originally built for a contractor of the US military, but if it is a well-maintained lm002,
The market price has reached 6 million US dollars. It is a collection-grade lm002... and it has a price but no market.
It's past ten o'clock.
Entering the Lamborghini auction, first a few Lamborghini Mavericks that have been mass-produced in recent years were driven out...
Chen Mo and the others also entered the auction venue, selling a 570-4 squadra corse with a price of US$250,000. It had traveled more than 10,000 miles, and the starting price here was only US$23,000.
The host on the stage briefly introduced the car, first of all, whether the car had had any accidents, whether it had any major repair records, and how many times it had changed owners... After the introduction, Hathaway drove the car to the booth and held it with both hands.
He held up the number plate representing the car, then stood next to the car... and the bidding began.
There were whistles in and around the auction seat, and the auction officially began.
"Hathaway has a pretty good figure." Bai Xiaoou saw Hathaway appearing on the stage and said with a smile, "You are so evil. You are a student girl and a model. You are so beautiful."
"Fuck you." Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "How many miles does that car have?"
"More than 10,000 miles, with two transaction records, no safety accidents, no memory of repairs and replacement parts, and only some simple maintenance. If you buy it at a second-hand store, it should cost $130,000, depending on the price.
, not too big”
If it were in China, such a car would definitely be discounted by more than half. The transaction price of second-hand cars in the United States is relatively good, and the Lamborghini Mavericks retain their value better than the Lamborghini Lamborghini Lamborghini.
The best model of Lamborghini is by no means the Daniel, but the Maverick. The selling point of the Daniel is the appearance and its ability to change the shell. The selling point of the Maverick is the technology...driving feeling, operation feeling, or playing on the track, daily driving, and listening to the news.
Wright said that calves are more comfortable than large cows.
The people sitting in the auction seats are all older people. Most of these people have nothing to do with the Lamborghini brand. They prefer Ferrari...
Cars come from one generation to the next. Old Americans all like things with a strong sense of history...
There are young people standing around, many of them students, and these prefer Lamborghini because it is flamboyant enough.
The quoted price of US$23,000 kept rising, and soon exceeded US$50,000.
When the price reached 70,000 US dollars, the bidding slowed down. Chen Mo raised his hand: "80,000 US dollars."
"80,000, it's already 80,000 US dollars, has anyone offered a higher price? 80,000 for the first time, 80,000 for the second time..." The host was so excited that he seemed to be on drugs.
"81,000, 81,000 US dollars, it's already 81,000 US dollars..." The quote was from a boy with acne on his face, his face full of pain.
"85,000." Chen Mo quoted again.
Hathaway saw Chen Mo on the stage, smiled sweetly at Chen Mo, and winked...
This smile was insignificant, but it caused the crowd in the audience to howl like wolves. Even the old men sitting in the auction seats felt rejuvenated and joined the bidding. The car that originally cost more than 100,000 US dollars was forcibly raised to 141,000 US dollars.
, bought by an old man with white hair.
In a second-hand car store, this car should be worth around US$130,000. The second-hand car store also earns commissions, which are relatively high. This is a centralized auction, and you also have to make money, and each car earns less. So.
, the transaction prices at auction venues are usually lower than those at second-hand car dealers...
Lamborghini cars were being auctioned off all morning.
There were also three Lamborghini Mavericks of the same model taken in a row. The car on the Hathaway platform had the lowest overall value, but the final transaction price was the highest, $2,000 more than the No. 2 car.
