Apparently the Lotec C1000 wasn't worth a million.

Or even half a million.

Nope, just $209k.

Whoever bought this got the bargain of the century.

Why does it say bmw 740i? That would turn off many portential buyers I assume.

More money than I have, yet I'd still call that a bargain. 1/1 and a unique one-off? That car is bound to double or triple in value.

Relisted

Probably didn't meet reserve.

Maybe it has the BMW engine? That's weird

Good catch! Didn't see that.

And for $700k! I wish them luck. I don't think anyone is going to give them that much for it, one off or not.

It's re-listed with a buy it now of $700k. The whole story surrounding this car is weird and it seems odd that it's on eBay to begin with. Personally, I think it would've been much wiser to show the car at a venues like Pebble Beach and Goodwood to get the word out that the car still exists and generate some buzz about it and then ultimately flip it at one of the major auctions. I guarantee that there's someone out there willing to part with near 7 figures (if not more) for this car.

Nope, it's got a big ass Mercedes engine in it. Must be an error with the listing

I love this car. If I had won PowerBall I would have bought it. It's been with that auction company at least since October
