Cars and Bids Bargain of the Week: 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL600

While the next-gen SL is going to be AMG-only, not every previous version of Mercedes-Benz’s convertible was about outright performance. And if you look carefully, you can score a used example for not a lot of money. But, while not every SL was terribly sporty, a few offered some rather extreme engines. Such is the …

Bring a Trailer Bargain of the Week: 2005 Acura RSX Type S

If the regular 2021 TLX isn’t sporty enough for you, don’t worry, because Acura is about to release the TLX Type S. And it promises to be the first of several upcoming Type S models. However, this isn’t the first time the Japanese luxury brand has used that moniker. And this week on Bring a …

Should You Buy a Vehicle Through Cars & Bids?

In uncertain times, buying a vehicle online can be a great solution to staying socially distanced. In fact, with more people staying home than ever, that can mean more time to dedicate to our cars, whether they be project cars or simple updates and customizations. That also means that used car sales have been on …

A 1-of-1 1968 Shelby GT500 Mustang Prototype Could Be Yours

While the Shelby company helped tune a lot of cars over the years, few are as well-represented as the Mustang. And though Shelby American isn’t directly involved with the modern GT500 Mustang, Carroll would likely be proud of the muscle car’s supercar-slaying performance. But while the current-gen car more than lives up to the nameplate, …

Bring a Trailer Bargain of the Week: 1960 Triumph TR3A

It’s arguably better-known for bikes like the Bonneville today, but Triumph made cars, too, once upon a time. And in competing with fellow British automaker MG, it developed a wide array of beloved sporty roadsters. But while some of these models can command a premium, there are still some affordable ones out there. This week’s …

Cars and Bids Bargain of the Week: 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth

Sadly, we’re not getting the latest 500 here in the US. But Fiat did bring the last-gen version to the US for several years. And while you could have the Fiat 500 in convertible or even electric 500e form, the most exciting version was the 500 Abarth hot hatch. Used examples tend to be rather …

Cars and Bids Bargain of the Week: 2014 Audi S4

Reliability is always a concern where used luxury cars are involved. Because while the purchase price is low, that doesn’t mean the repair costs are, too. However, even if an earlier version of a car was plagued with problems, doesn’t mean the later ones are, too. A good example of this is this week’s Cars …

Bring a Trailer Bargain of the Week: 1994 Honda CB1000 Super Four

While the Super Cub has certainly cemented itself in motorcycle history, it’s not the only influential Honda bike. The CB750, for example, was the first motorcycle called a ‘superbike.’ Then there’s the GB500 Tourist Trophy, which previewed the modern café racer trend by over a decade. This week’s Bring a Trailer bargain, though, is more …

Want a 1-of-7 Michigan-Built Supercar? Buy This Falcon F7

Car auctions, whether online or in-person, offer excellent chances to bid on some real rarities. Say, for example, ultra-rare supercars like the 1-of-1 Isdera Commendatore. And if you’ve been looking for an American-made supercar, but don’t fancy a Viper or a Cobra 427 Super Snake, you’re in luck. That’s because Cars and Bids just listed …
