Why would a 2012 Nismo be sold at Auction?

ZeeBabar · 07-21-2014, 12:23 PM

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?

no idea.

Could have been confiscated by police in a drug bust.

Wrong. You can only get a single body in there without resorting to butchery, which ruins the interior. Trust me.

Pro tip: Never use a chain saw on a clothed body.

Or so I've been told by someone with hands-on experience.

Equipment needed.
1. Chain saw.
2. Chipper/shreader.
3. Rotortiller.

Just what I have been told by a few in the know.

not if you have them sitting in a slight decline like they're napping with sunglasses on (and of course the seat belt for safety)

It only ruins the interior if you don't use Ziploc bags.

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.
