They are repossessions and dealer trade ins. Sometimes the dealers don't want to deal with selling cars that won't bring in a certain amount of money, so off to auction they go.

If anyone else goes to any manheim auctions, could you please post the selling prices of various Z's and G's just as OP did. This thread helped me quite a bit in expecting what they all go for approx. Didn't mean to jack the thread or anything, just sayin.
Thanks all

I've been to a Mannheim, PA auction. This was back during the Dodge Prowler craze where supposedly those were rare cars. I saw at least five Prowlers that day.
Also, when you go, you are specifically instructed to keep your hands down and not even make eye contact with the auctioneer or else you might be walking away with a car you don't want.

Wow yeah I'm in SD as well. I know there are a few near SD, like the Fontana, Anaheim, LA, and Oceanside locations. Do you know which he was at? I've heard the Fontana is the biggest.

You need to watch your backs at those auctions, everyone is there to make money, not give cars away. If you are new to the game and dont have any experience.......it wont be good.
