The Daily Vroom
Good morning Vroomers,
Yesterday I received an email from someone looking to sell three cars online.
The catch? He didn't actually want to sell them himself.
Like many owners, he didn't want to spend hours taking photos, writing descriptions, answering a ton of questions or dealing with the entire auction process. He simply wanted someone experienced to handle everything for him.
Within a few minutes I was able to put him in touch with a consignor who was less than ten miles from his house.
The surprising part? He had absolutely no idea they existed. I'm pretty confident those three cars won't be the last business they do together.
I receive requests like this all the time. Some people ask which platform they should use. Others want to know whether they should work with a PowerSeller or a local consignor. More often than not, they're simply looking for someone they can trust.
The problem is there's no easy way to find that person.
That's why over the past few months I've been quietly building a network of PowerSellers and consignors from across the country. Some specialise in European cars. Others know American muscle inside out. Some focus on online auctions, others on private sales or specific regions. The aim is to make it much easier to connect sellers with the right expert for their particular car.
If you're a consignor or PowerSeller, have the capacity to take on more cars and consistently achieve great results, I'd love to hear from you. Send an email to [email protected]
Likewise, if you're someone who isn't sure where to sell your car or who should help you sell it, send me an email. If I know the right person, I'm always happy to make an introduction.

The 77 Miles I'll Never Understand
Back in April 2023, this was just another white 1989 Porsche 964 that sold on BaT for $94,500. Fast forward a couple of years and it's been stripped back to its shell, completely reimagined by Singer into its Classic Turbo specification and is now back on the very same platform. Five bids have already pushed it to nearly $1 million with more than eight days still to run, so I'd say there's every chance this one has some way to go yet.
Whether you think Singer improves a 911 or should never have touched an original 964 is a debate that isn't going away anytime soon, and it's one I'm happy to leave to everyone else. What I don't think anyone can argue with is the craftsmanship. Years of work, incredible attention to detail and what is almost certainly a seven-figure investment by the time the owner finally gets the keys.
Which is why one number completely overshadowed everything else for me.
77 miles.
I'll never understand it. Imagine spending years creating your dream car. Choosing every colour, every material and every option, finally getting the call that it's finished... and then selling it after just 77 miles.
The crazy part is those 77 miles could easily be little more than transport, service and testing miles. If that's the case, the person who commissioned this car may never have actually gone out and properly enjoyed the thing they'd spent years waiting for.
Maybe that's just me. I completely understand that some people commission these cars as investments, and clearly the market has rewarded plenty of owners for doing exactly that. But if I'd gone to all that effort, I'd want to drive it. I'd want to hear the engine, row through the gears, take the long way home and actually experience what I'd spent all that time and money creating. Cars like this deserve more than a handful of workshop and delivery miles.
The irony, of course, is that those 77 miles will probably end up helping the final price. Whoever buys it is effectively getting a brand-new Singer without the years-long wait, and judging by the bidding so far I don't think there'll be any shortage of people who'd happily take that opportunity. I just hope the next owner decides those first 77 miles were only the beginning.
You've just taken delivery of your dream Singer after waiting years. What happens next?

No Reserve Auctions To Keep An Eye on
Just over two weeks ago this 2008 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG sold for $12,500. That should have been the end of the story.
Instead, the seller didn't follow through. If that's what happened, then I'm glad the platform showed them the door. There's nothing worse than someone wasting everybody's time. The winning bidder thinks they've bought the car, transport starts getting arranged, everyone moves on... only for the seller to pull the rug out from under the deal. That's not how auctions are supposed to work.
The good news is the car itself gets another chance. Now, I'm not going to pretend this is the most inspiring listing you'll see today. It has over 132,000 miles, peeling clear coat, cracked panoramic roof glass, worn interior trim, an air suspension warning and a few other issues you'll want to read through before bidding. But that's exactly why I wanted to give it a little bit of love today.
Hopefully, in some small way, it helps the car find a genuine buyer and the seller gets the best possible result second time around.
At the time of writing, incredibly, there isn't a single bid. So why not throw in a $100 bid? Before anyone panics, no, I'm not suggesting you're going to buy a 507-horsepower AMG for $100. But that's the fun of a no reserve auction. Someone has to get the bidding started, and once it does, you never quite know where it'll end up.
Either way, I'm hoping this E63 finally gets the ending it deserved a couple of weeks ago.
You spend enough time scrolling through online auctions and, after a while, you start to feel like you've seen everything. Another 911. Another Mustang. Another E-Type.
Then something like this pops up. I'd be willing to bet a lot of you have never even heard of a Puma GTB, let alone seen one come up for auction. Built exclusively for the Brazilian market, this 1978 example is one of just 701 Series 1 cars produced and is believed to be the only one currently in the UK.
What I love about cars like this is they remind us there's a whole world of interesting classics beyond the usual names. From a distance you can see hints of Aston Martin at the rear, a bit of American muscle at the front, yet underneath it's powered by a Brazilian-built Chevrolet 4.1-litre straight-six. It's a combination I can't say I've come across very often.
It's not perfect either. The seller is upfront about the cosmetic flaws, a missing door handle, some paint issues and a few mechanical jobs that the next owner will want to tackle. But somehow that almost adds to the appeal. This feels like the sort of car you buy because you know you're unlikely to park next to another one.
And if you're wondering what it would actually cost to get something this unusual home, don't forget we've got the International Shipping Calculator on The Daily Vroom. It'll give you an estimated landed cost, including shipping, import duty and the other fees involved, before you decide whether it's worth taking the plunge.
I have absolutely no idea where this one will end up price-wise, but I do know one thing. Cars like this are exactly why I love spending far too much time browsing auctions. Every now and then, something completely unexpected appears.
I spend far too much time scrolling through auction listings, so it takes something a bit different to make me stop. This 1964 Plymouth Savoy managed exactly that.
Now before the Mopar experts jump in, no, this isn't one of the approximately 112 original A-864 Hemi Super Stock cars Chrysler built back in 1964. Instead, it's a tribute built by someone who clearly knew exactly what they were trying to achieve, right down to the stripped-out interior and period-correct details.
The only thing they didn't leave alone was the engine. Instead of a 426, this one packs a Dale Reed-built 472ci Hemi. If you're going to bend the rules, you may as well do it properly.
I actually like cars like this because you don't have to feel guilty using them. If this were a genuine A-864 car, every extra mile would probably cost you money. Every stone chip would hurt. Every time you parked it somewhere, you'd be looking over your shoulder.
With this? Just drive it. It's loud, it's raw, it looks exactly how a '60s drag-inspired Mopar should look, and if someone asks whether it's an original, you can simply tell them exactly what it is. There's nothing wrong with that.
