When it comes to looking for cars online, sites like Bring-a-Trailer, Cars, and Bids, and others have made high-end car sales less interesting than they used to be. Six- and seven-figure cars are being moved in and out of sight. But Supercar Blondie’s brand-new sale site, SBX Cars, just smashed the old record for being the silliest. A 2015 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster sold on the site for $6 million, which was the highest price ever paid for a car at an online sale. By the way, the sale company won’t say how much it was, which is $6 million plus fees. However, even a small percentage would cost tens of thousands of dollars for such a big buy. The buyer will also have to pay taxes, title, and registration fees if the car gets a license plate. It might be going to a closed museum that someone runs. SBX also didn’t know who was buying and selling, even though it was clear that the seller “WFG21” had a number of very expensive cars. SBX Cars has higher average deal prices than some other well-known online auction sites because it only sells very expensive cars. And it’s not just cars. Do you want to buy a robot that you can drive or a party boat from the future? Before this Veneno Roadster got someone to bid $6 million, the most expensive car ever sold at an online auction was a 2017 Ferrar LaFerrari Aperta, which went for $5,360,000. Because of this, this Lamborghini beat the old record by over $700,000. It also means that people think the Veneno is worth a lot more now than it was a few years ago. There was a sale for this car in 2020, with a price tag of $4.8 million, but it did not sell. What is so special about the Veneno Roadster that someone truly paid the most at auction to get it? To begin with, it’s rare. It took 50 years for Lamborghini to make the Veneno Roadster, and only nine were made when it was first shown off in 2013. A member of the Saudi royal family bought this, which was the only second Roadster ever made. It also only has 1,778 kilometers (1,105 miles) on it because too many rich people buy nice cars and never use them. It should be against the law to buy a Lamborghini V12 and only drive 122 miles a year in it. The Veneno Roadster’s exterior is a striking matte black, while the interior features a unique black and green color scheme. It’s a design choice that might not appeal to everyone, but it’s certainly memorable. The carbon fiber wheels, on the other hand, are universally admired for their beauty. And becomes increasingly unreasonable. SBX might beat its record in a few weeks. One of only three Lamborghini Veneno coupes ever made is on its way to SBX. It has only 127 miles on it—one of only nine Roadsters with only 1,105 miles sold for $6 million. I wonder how much the coupe would sell for. Nobody knows for sure if the buyer knew their $6 million offer would break the record, but we can only hope they checked the market value before pressing the “bid” button. They would have known that this was the most money ever paid for a Veneno if that were true. That person will know that they are following suit when they buy the next one, and they will probably delete the record. Rich people will do anything to avoid going to therapy.
