These Are The Cars That Sold For Under $15,000 At Monterey Car Week 2025

Who says you can't find an affordable utilized car successful 2025? Why, moreover nan well-heeled car buyers astatine nan infamously extravagant Pebble Beach tin find a fewer affordable rides connected nan Monterey Car Week auction docket. Last year, I stayed successful nan realm of Mecum Auctions for affordable finds, but this twelvemonth moreover Gooding Christie's had 1 aliases 2 affordable vehicles connected nan docket. 

Last twelvemonth we had tons of cars nether $10,000. This twelvemonth we weren't rather that lucky, but location were still a batch of highly affordable vehicles. These are nan cars folks managed to bargain for comparatively sane prices moreover astatine nan world's astir intelligence car show. Imagine sipping champagne and dropping only 5 figures connected a classical car. Some of these ended up trading for little money than akin vehicles listed for waste connected sites for illustration Bring A Trailer. Scroll done and cheque retired nan lowest priced vehicles sold astatine Monterey Car Week this year, positive 1 honorable mention astatine nan end. 

We person a lotta emotion for Lada astir these parts, but it would return a peculiarly bully illustration to scope a five-figure waste value moreover among fans. But this peculiar Lada Niva seems worthy its auction price. Nivas were designed specifically for off-roading, and this illustration comes pinch features for illustration imperishable four-wheel thrust and a locking halfway differential that make getting disconnected pavement and onto writer possible. The reliable small tyke comes pinch a 1,569-cc inline-4 motor mated to a manual gearbox. It's difficult to measurement this illustration up against different Nivas for sale, arsenic it is an unthinkable uncommon exemplary successful nan U.S. and nan mileage is not mentioned connected nan Gooding listing. It's surely adjacent nan ceiling of what I'd personally salary for a Lada, but creation for illustration this is worthy what group are consenting to salary for it.

A small touch of robust oxide ne'er wounded nobody, but that small spot of rust astir apt wounded nan income value of this different cleanable Pontiac Catalina. Hey, let's spot you look cleanable aft 83,316 miles. This Pontiac came by its pantina honestly, arsenic it has lived its life successful California pinch a azygous owner, who leaves down notes detailing what nan car costs to substance up going backmost to 1964. I'll return an ocean-sprayed assemblage complete roadworthy brackish deluge undercarriage immoderate day. This Catalina comes pinch a V8 motor and a cue shot shifter for its four-speed manual. Overkill? Maybe. But this is simply a car that announces to nan world "I cognize what I'm driving for nan remainder of my life," truthful it amended spell large aliases it mightiness arsenic good spell home. 

This Beetle is listed arsenic "highly original condition" pinch only 783 miles connected nan odometer, but it still sold beneath what different examples of this conveyance spell for connected nan unfastened market. Someone astatine nan Mecum auctions made disconnected pinch a bargain of a woody this year. This small feline comes pinch nan acquainted flat-4 motor and 4-speed manual transmission. All nan mechanical bits person been serviced, cleaned up aliases rebuilt and it has a caller group of tires connected it. This Beetle genuinely looks for illustration its been waiting to unrecorded its champion life extracurricular of storage. Hopefully its caller proprietor lets it tally astir a little. 

Another absolute screaming woody is this 2006 Cadillac XLR Convertible pinch an odometer that reads 36,894 miles. Would I salary moreover that overmuch for a 2000s GM vehicle? Probably not. Even though Caddy wasn't affected by nan ignition move ungraded I still person a difficult clip trusting GM products from this era. But a convertible pinch a V8 mightiness beryllium conscionable what nan expert ordered to soften my heart. You get nan 4.6-liter V8 successful this bad lad, and an automatic transmission. Who needs to interest astir rowing gears erstwhile you're trying to consciousness nan upwind successful your hair? 

Another perfectly screaming deal. Seriously, a rotary motor pinch conscionable 1,578 miles connected it? And personification only paid 11 expansive for an automotive engineering marvel. Ridiculous. I've sewage to get myself to a Mecum auction adjacent year. The auction location didn't moreover fuss pinch getting due pictures of nan damn thing! This car was babied successful a ambiance power car shed for nan past 14 years aliases truthful and comes pinch its original model sticker still intact. Absolutely wild. 

A diesel Mercedes wagon? Be still my heart. This babe vanished up a full restoration conscionable successful clip for nan Mecum auction. The odometer, at 267,306 miles, is astir apt what pushed nan value of this basking thrust down a touch. Other than that you get a cherry conveyance pinch retro-fitted aerial conditioning and nan original 3.0-liter inline-5 diesel engine. Just gotta beryllium a small weird, don't you Mercedes? I'm chaotic for classical Mercedes wheels and this car has rather a group connected it. Similar examples usually waste for a fewer 1000 much than this car, but nan mileage is wherever it mislaid points. Still, a diesel Mercedes is 1 of those cars that tin easy do different 200,000 miles without breaking a sweat. 

Now we are talking. Here is simply a car that is not acrophobic to return up abstraction successful nan world and successful its lane, an absolute pimp-mobile that's nan pridefulness of nan Malaise era fleet. This garage-kept queen of nan road comes pinch a 400-cubic-inch V8 motor pinch conscionable 62,923 miles connected it and a marque caller group of achromatic wall tires, because of course. Similar vehicles person sold astatine astir doubly nan price. It ever a thrill to spot these boaty, floaty vehicles connected nan road. I dream who ever bought it puts different 62,000 miles connected it cruising arsenic slow arsenic they want. 

Mecum Auctions

A 5.4-liter V12 motor mated to an automatic transmission pinch conscionable nether 100,000 miles connected nan clock, nan debased value for this basking BMW is really not overmuch of a shock. In fact, this waste value seems correct successful statement pinch akin listings connected nan internet, possibly a small spot cheaper than you'd get from Bring A Trailer aliases Autotrader. It already looks for illustration nan car that belongs to a not-terribly successful spy trying to support up appearances. This model's bulletproof windows conscionable seal nan deal. These cars aren't precisely known for their reliability, truthful nan odometer being adjacent six figures is shocking successful its ain right. Hopefully whoever bought this car is fresh for nan headaches arsenic good arsenic nan dizzying highs of BMW ownership. 

This car primitively costs $600 backmost successful nan early 20th century. That comes to $19,778.45 successful today's dollars, truthful this purchaser did so get a deal. These only came successful achromatic aft 1913, making this beautiful greenish Model T a uncommon commodity. The batch comes pinch an further engine, which is beautiful bully news considering Ford hasn't made nan Model T since 1927. The victor of this auction besides received a "magnum vessel of Inglenook Rubicon wine, on pinch an invitation welcoming them and 3 guests to nan Coppola family's historical Inglenook property successful Rutherford, California, for a backstage circuit and vino tasting," which surely sweetens what is already a cherry woody connected a portion of history.

These depreciation queens are a awesome bargain successful Monterey it seems and, pinch 132,169 miles connected nan clock, this 7 Series has been astir nan artifact capable clip to sound respective 1000 dollars disconnected nan price. This car comes pinch a 4.4-liter V8 making 445 horsepower, and it's sewage nan M Sport package. This is different car personification sewage arsenic a woody — akin 7 Series pinch acold less miles waste for thousands more.

The astir modestly priced vehicle sold astatine Pebble Beach auctions is judge to go a early classic. Well, possibly that's not a judge bet, particularly not this 1 pinch complete 111,000 miles connected nan clock, but whoever bought it will surely beryllium happy pinch their purchase. This Avalanche comes pinch a 5.3-liter Vortec V8 motor and an automatic transmission. Popping astir connected used car listings shows smilier vehicles pinch much miles trading astatine complete double nan price. See, a woody astatine Monterey is achievable! 

It's a book. I mean, it's a very awesome book, but it's still conscionable like, a book. But this book demanded $10,000 astatine auction. But of course, it's not arsenic elemental arsenic that. The book features a calfskin cover, clamshell case, and metallic logo sheet positive 4 spark plugs removed from nan collections' astir salient cars: the 1936 Bugatti 57G, 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C-2900B, 1964 Cobra Daytona Coupe, and 1970 Porsche 917 LH. Hey, put those back!
