Part 7/12:
A stark contrast is the 2013 Dodge Challenger with a hefty 198,000 miles. This vehicle clearly shows signs of abuse: dents, chipped paint, and a battered interior. The bidding starts at only $2,000, reflecting its condition; it quickly reaches about $2,600 before selling. The presenter inspects the interior, revealing a deeply dirty and worn-down cabin, reminiscent of a repo or a vehicle that has seen heavy use.
This example underscores a key point: cars with high mileage and poor condition are typically sold at low prices, primarily for parts or for resale to buyers who can fix them up economically. The auction acts as a clearinghouse for such vehicles, emphasizing the importance of condition and history in valuation.
