Here Are The Cheapest Cars Sold At The 2017 Pebble Beach Auctions

Another Monterey Car Week has come and gone. Fortunes changed hands and many resplendent vehicles have found new homes with new owners. It's a happy time for all.

Last year, we did a roundup of the most expensive cars sold at the Pebble Beach Auctions. And it was kind of... meh. Like, how many people can realistically relate to spending almost $22 million on an old Jaguar? Not many.

In true Jalop fashion, the follow-up post with the 10 cheapest cars sold at Pebble was way more compelling for everyone. These were the cars that were attainable—that could be debated over.

So, for this year, I thought I'd just do everyone a favor and skip right on over the 10 most expensive cars sold at Pebble because nobody actually gives a fuck. (If you're interested, the most expensive one was an Aston Martin DBR1. It went for $22.5 million. I know. Which beggar bought that?)

And here they are, according to a no-frills, no-nonsense Excel spreadsheet sent along by a helpful Hagerty employee. Please note that, for whatever reason, some of the cars weren't listed on the auction sites. It's like they don't care about the cheap ones or something!

1. 1984 BMW 528e Base Sedan (Mecum Auctions), sold for $1,100

I was expecting some beat-to-shit BMW. But no! This color is excellent, the interior is clean and it has a manual transmission! Not bad for a thousand bucks—this is a goddamn steal!

2. 1985 BMW 535i Base Sedan (Mecum Auctions), sold for $2,200

Sure, this guy has a rebuilt automatic transmission, but look at it! A 3.5-liter inline-six, clean exterior, even cleaner interior.

3. 2010 Toyota Scion SXC TC Coupe (Mecum Auctions), sold for $2,200

Unfortunately, there was no picture for this poor Scion, so just use your imagination. Imagine a gray TC Coupe with a black interior, an automatic transmission, bucket seats, an included car cover and "factory CD music system." It has a 2.4-liter, 161-horsepower engine and! An Arizona restored/salvage title.

Why did someone sell a Scion TC at Pebble Beach? Was this an accident? Did they just drive it there and park it in the wrong lot, and then it got auctioned off? Mysteries abound.

4. 1977 Cadillac Eldorado Base Coupe (Russo and Steele), sold for $3,300

Would you just look at that blue. This Eldorado is front-wheel-drive and has a 425-cubic inch V8. Also, it's been "adult driven"—meaning no nasty Teens drove this dream machine.

5. 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Base Roadster (Russo and Steele), sold for $4,675

Gold! It's gold with a dark brown soft top. Powered by a water-cooled V8, mated to a four-speed auto, this Mercedes has air conditioning and a CD player.
