It’s just an auction house, just a digital. I call it a narcissism fee. The look at me social media generation likes to have everyone watch them buy a car. And for whatever reason people trust the veracity of the transaction over eBay.
It’s hard to call it a bubble when rebuild and maintenance costs justify it. You can’t rebuild a 3.2 for under $10k anymore. It’s now closer to $20k than $10k. $10k in paint and body restoration happens in a blink, without extensive rust repair. The list goes on. And millennials have hit their earning curve and have a thing for cars from their youth. And they can now afford them. Many of these buys are someone’s first AC car, even if they’ve already had 2-3 water pumpers. Sub $10k 986 Boxster are a gateway drug.
