Cheapest And Most Expensive Cars Sold At Monterey Car Plus A Divorced Guy's New Ride In This Week's Car Buying Roundup

Another Monterrey Car Week has come and gone, along with the fantastic array of classic vehicles and futuristic concepts strutting their stuff on the golf course green by the sea. Many car enthusiasts dream of attending such a lush event, though few think they’d ever be able to walk away with a new car. Those auctions are for Duesenbergs and Bugattis and shit like that, right? Wrong. - Erin Marquis Read More

The events that make up Monterey Car Week, feature some of the most expensive, rare, and gorgeous cars known to man. Many of them appear at auction, where they’re offered to the highest bidder. Some Monterey auction cars sold for under $10,000, but the cheapest car on this list sold for $3.36 million. - Logan Carter Read More

The SEMA Show is known to produce lots of crazy custom cars and trucks that don’t actually work, like giant lifted trucks with bluetooth driveshafts and hot rods that have to be pushed into the convention center, but this bonkers build puts its money where its mouth is. As it sits now, this bright orange Ford Focus hatchback somehow hides a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger under its custom hood, and that preposterous powerplant sends its egregious power through a 5-speed manual to the rear wheels. This ain’t some half-hearted attempt at a custom, either, it’s beautifully finished and looks to be done right, and it’s for sale now on Bring A Trailer. - Logan Carter Read More

Ronnie just got divorced and with a new chapter in his life he wants to upgrade his old Camry to something a little sportier while still getting decent gas mileage. With a budget of about $30,000, what car should he buy? - Tom McParland Read More

While the Chevrolet Monte Carlo could still be ordered with a V8, but the time the last generation rolled around, it had gone front-wheel drive and was slower than a Honda Accord with a V6. The NASCAR version, on the other hand, was basically the complete opposite. It was rear-wheel drive, came with a manual transmission and was actually, legitimately fast. It wasn’t street-legal, but who cares? It was a race car, and now you can buy one on Cars & Bids. - Collin Woodard Read More

According to its ad, today’s Nice Price or No Dice Monaco wagon could transport the entire Brady Bunch combo clan. Let’s see if this throwback ’70s icon comes with a price that doesn’t require selling off one or more of the kids to afford. - Rob Emslie Read More

Today’s Nice Price or No Dice 330i offers a five-speed stick and the seller’s promise that “Not a single “check engine” light is lit.” Let’s decide if this low-mileage sport sedan’s price lights up our interest. - Rob Emslie Read More

Used car prices are steadily dropping, mostly due to oversupply, and while electric and luxury vehicles are being hit the hardest, other segments don’t always see a big savings gap between new and used. - Tom McParland Read More

Today’s Nice Price or No Dice CX500 is a notable classic, having been Honda’s first-ever turbocharged motorcycle. This one has back fees on its registration, so gauging its value will be extra tricky. I know we’ll still be able to pull it off. - Rob Emslie Read More

Today’s Nice Price or No Dice Alfa Spider is a hot mess. Could that factor—and an appreciably low price—mean a new buyer might clean up?

By any measure, yesterday’s 1972 Dodge Monaco wagon was large. It had lots of length, lots of seats, and, most notably for our purposes, lots of numbers on its price tag. That $20,500 asking price proved not to be a whale of a deal, however, as you all voted it down in a 72 percent No Dice loss. - Rob Emslie Read More
