Freakin’ Repo Site
I got an email from a friend of mine in mid November (06) with a link to a repo auction site. He was going ballistic because he bought a 2006 Harley for $7500 bucks (under 800 miles on it). I don’t know diddly about motorcycles but he claims this bike is worth 25K brand-new.
I was working hard on The Wof project, so to be honest I never even checked out the site. Two weeks later he called me and tells me his old man goes and buys and freakin airplane on the same site. What the….??
I went on and did a search for the car I drive now which is a Chevrolet Malibu Maxx. I joined as a member so I could see this for myself and off I went to the auctions.
I found a Malibu Maxx and watched the bidding. The freakin’ thing went for 5K and change! I spent 22K for ours! As a result of this we are selling our Malibu Maxx locally and buying an auctioned car. I’ll add to this post after we buy our new car with a pic as well.
Peace out.

O yeah…..here is the site (think it’s only good for the United States, Canada and Australia)
Update: As promised here is pic of the SUV Betty and I bought on the auction site mentioned above. We bought it with just over 15K on it! My dream SUV the
2005 Land Rover LR3 (2005 SE 4WD 4-Dr Sport Utility V8) The retail on these was $38,525 and we got in an auction for $8,700. Still in great shape. Couple scratches on the back/right quarter panel which we’re getting fixed.
Here’s my baby!

Very cool Brent. I did a search for a boat I’ve always wanted and found a few. Two of them went for half the price and the other went for only a 1/4 of the price.
We’re going to look at a bunch of auctions before we buy but THANKS for link!

Yeah…..when you’re in there take a look at some the boats. I’m not a boat guy, but some these look brand new.
Suppose the IRS has been busy this year.
Now it’s off to get a Christmas tree in my Landrover!

Why would you buy that piece of shit. Those Landrovers are over-rated big time. My sister has the 2006 version of what you bought and it’s a lemon….

To each his own Kent. So far it’s solid as rock, really smooth ride, great on gas….no problem.
