MM Access to Manheim Auction

davej · 06-17-2019, 09:49 AM

In a recent development, I somehow ended up with dealer access to buy cars at Manheim.
It has been ok'd to buy cars directly for friends/family for $500 over price/fees. They run everything from beaters to practically new cars through, but it'd probably be best if you had a specific model in mind to go after. I can share some previous results so you can get an idea of pricing.

We can talk details if anyone is interested, but the cars would still have to go through the dealership for title/taxes/etc.

Here are a few examples from last week at Harrisonburg.
(if you sort by price, you can see which ones had a trunk full of nose candy)

This is so very not good for me, Dave.

I mean I'm super happy with the X5 (I think) but this is very dangerous and also awesome. Thanks, Dave!

Yeah, I'm going to get myself into trouble. I tried to bid on that karmann ghia but there must be a slight lag and I missed the hammer.
There are lots of twin turbo 6's to all wheels coming up with old VA State Trooper SHOs this week. Real curious to see what they go for, one of those would make a hellafun rallyx car for cheap.

10-4, when you get into the research phase let me know and I can start feeding you excel sheets.

+1 subscribe. Out of curiosity you see any 2006 6.6L Chevy Silverado 2500 or GMC Sierra with less than 100K miles?

Continuing the diesel trend I might have to talk to the wife about picking up one of them TDI wagons..I miss mine

Evan · 06-17-2019, 11:07 PM

Any BRZ or FR-S?

Less than 100k miles :0

BTW let's talk. I am getting ready to order a new vehicle to replace the truck.

HAULN-SS · 06-18-2019, 08:58 AM

I'm spoiled by the one on eBay I saw with 45k. I think it went for 36 Grand which is crazy. I'm kind of holding out for the 2020 2500s to see what happens to prices of last gen..

Let your friend know there is only one on the east coast right now, but we can track prices for you...I mean him or her.
Still learning the site, but I think MMR is their wholesale estimate

How do the CR numbers work? Anything above 4 supposed to be pretty good?

It might even be lower than that, I've seen some 3.x that said minor damage/scratches but are tagged as not needing body or paint work, and I can't tell what the issue, at least from the crappy photos.

I haven't been to a preview yet but hopefully after seeing a few cars in person I can get a better sense of the ratings.

Evan · 06-19-2019, 11:20 AM

Im curious what that Fredericksburg BRZ went for. 22 wholesale seems pretty high, especially if it is 2.7 condition.

WRXtranceformed · 06-19-2019, 01:55 PM

I'll probably be hitting you up about my next purchase when I'm ready...September or any time thereafter Smile

fiveoh2go · 06-22-2019, 07:49 PM

Can you buy from any Manheim auction or just those within Virginia?

It is good for any Manheim, and they even have an easy button in the site for shipping back to the shop here. Unsure if it could be delivered elsewhere though.

I don't know what paperwork/ title transfer would look like to the great state of md, but I'm sure it's pretty straight forward.

Steve85 · 06-26-2019, 10:35 AM

Sweet! Probably going to be in the market for something I can let the kids drive soonish, 6 months or so. Probably something like a manual impreza of some sort.
