Why would a 2012 Nismo be sold at Auction?
 

There is a 2012 Nismo being sold by a Ford dealer for just $25k. The dealer foes not have a car fax but has an "Auto Check" which shows a clean car, sold at Auction where this dealer purchased it.

It looks like a great deal but why would a car with just 4500 miles be sold at an auction?

maybe a lemon?
maybe modded? (or was modded and some areas cut?)
maybe was a test mule?
maybe was used as a magazine editor's car?

:confused: no idea.

Could have been confiscated by police in a drug bust.

^^ good one.

mafia car.

dead bodies were transported in the back.

^^ scary one.

cause there was probably something that needed to fixed on it. with that fix it would outweigh the profit that they could make so they gave it to an auction.

At a nissan dealership a friend works at, they got a gtr for 50,000 and to service it and fix everything it would have cost 12,000 and would leave minimum profit. so they gave it to an auction and sold it for like 57,000.

^^ sounds about right.

Confused it with a Mustang? :confused:

Auto check shows no accident or damage record
 

and yet it was sold at auction.

Also, autocheck says it is a "base nismo"???

The way I heard the story is that the owner died inside the car and wasn't discovered for a couple of weeks. The car is pristine except for the odor.
