Kroz, I think I missed the facts a bit - what's the deal with your going to these auctions? Is it related to your family business, or smth? Either way, I think all your hyping of this thing made me kinda nostalgic for those days when I ran a car dealership...

Hey guys! Just got back from the auction. We didn't buy anything since this is only the 2 time being at an auction, and the 1st time being at an auction exclusively for high line cars.

Here are the pics!

Ok first off, this was not a car for auction. Someone actually owns this car:
If your wondering, yes that is chrome trim around the doors, and yes that is a pin stripe running down the CENTER of the car put on by a challenged monkey.

If your wondering, 80% of those are AMG's

I was looking around for some manual cars and found 5 BMW's with stick. Z4 M soft top, 330i, M5 (yes, manual, not SMG), 645ci, 328i. I discovered that the stick shift cars where the best maintained. I figured that lease returns aren't manual so these cars where actually OWNED. Most of the cars where obviously lease returns and some where in HORRID condition. There was a 525i, with 4300k miles overdue for oil change, 400miles overdue for micro filter, 200k miles overdue for breaks, flat tire, airbag malfunction. The interior trim was all scratched up from finger nails, and the car slammed as you shifted from P - D - P. The manual cars where all in impeccable condition with NO swirls. The 645i had 71k miles and quality wise looked better than the interior of my 545i (lease return).

The 328i had only 2k miles on the clock and the gear shift was SOOO nice an notchy. It felt really nice. The 645i's stick was a little looser but still really nice.

Anyway it was a great day! There where a lot of Bentley's and about 5 Rolls Royce Phantom. A ton of AMG's and probably 25 or so 525i's. Not a single 545i, and only 2 550i's.

Hi Marc, looks like you had fun at the auction. My post asking where your proposed dealership will be located apparently was misconscrued, Are you going to be located near Naples of Ft Myers?
BTW was the operator of that blk 7 w/ all the cool chrome wearing an applejack hat with lots of bling??
