Yep. There seem to be a lot of comments compared to other auctions so hopefully people are just waiting to bid. 5,500 views seems high as well

Super :sweaty:

Also a fun H Elantra N quality update I forgot to mention. The horn stopped working and the black window trim piece was peeling. Both are apparently common issues but still. :wtf: The peeling trim just looks like Hyundai wraps chrome trim with black vinyl.

Nice to see some movement. Was surprised to see it sitting at 31k for so long.

Bids are coming in quick now. I assume it'll slow down until the last hour.

So close. Hopefully that last minute gets the flurry of bids going.

Yea it seems to have a few interested parties based on comments.

I think it’s also a very desirable spec. Short of the special Spectrum ones that came out in the last year of 7.5. THIS is the spec to get. Low miles, warranty, an owner that gave a fk… and most importantly no modzzzzzz, which so many do and ruin the cars… no tune, no black butthole, no suspension shit, no fugly wheels, no yellow fogzzz… it should bring top dollar.

I’m going to go with a 37k guestimate. Which imo is really good and almost no depreciation
Lets see how close I got... anything over 35k is a super strong result. I looked locally... and there are a few listed for 38-39k.... which is how much the new buyer is already paying after the fee.... :mindblown:

I was really hoping for a little bit more but I think he got it at a great price.

So the initial reserve I wanted was $38k which was maybe a tad optimistic. C&B offered $34k to start but we settled on $36k so that was met. KBB still has the private party sale range of $35,977 - $39,140.

Actual sale price is around 38290... so it seems like KBB was spot on
