Random Pictures From Work
#1
well I got a new blackberry bold a few weeks ago, and I've been able to snap a few photos of some interesting cars that come to my work, for those that don't know I work for Adesa Auto auctions. most of the cars I took photos of I drove to where they are before I took the pictures or noticed them on the lot. I have not taken any photos of corvettes, or mustangs as well they are not as rare as these are, so enjoy.

well there was a ferrari earlier this year, but there usually around durring the summers, and STi's are cheap..

I think we had about 2 or 3 lambo last year. almost every week or so there is a vette or some type of mustang for the record.

and I've seen a 2008 STi Import for the usa, go for $18,200 at auction, it had 10,000 miles, but yeah all the stuff I heard about it was not good.

never drove that mini, as it's a dealers car, but I have driven one before, like the new ones but I'd never buy one after working there unless it was 2008 or newer.

the lotus I learned the best way to get into it was from top gear, but wow... it's soo cramped inside for tall people... and the doors don't open all that well or wide as you'd expect.

I have some random wild life photos of some of the nests from the geese and sand pippers, that nest near the ponds on the lot.

Street Edition: most of the cars that come to my work are from the manufacturers like ford, mazda, BMW, Mercedes benz, GM, Dodge etc... and they are all lease returns, or least trade in. we get special dealer cars from mercedes benz canada from their dealer network, and they can be anything often very well taken care of cars that were traded ins on new mercedes, other wise it's Ex Rentals, repos, and dealer cars (ie. the cars the dealers can't sell on their lots or have been on them a while) Sometimes, yes there can be some major issus with the cars but often it's dealer cars or repos that have the issues, it's rare for the lease retuns to have major issues unless they are theft recovered, or had the odos rolled back.

MO: yes the Lotus is going on dealer block today I think in A lane. I'd check the GE stack of cars as they often have random cars in there, I've seen a few VW TDI's in there with 60 - 200,000 kms, often 06 - 08. otherwise check B, and D lane as they swap between those 2 lanes with random VW's. I'll be in H lane today if you want to swing by, just look for some brown POS mailbu as that's my shuttle, and I could take a look round for one for you. I'll be wearing a green high visibility vest, (I run H lane btw)

Nick: I could get some prices for what the floor prices is, but it could sky rocket up depending on what kind or how rare the car is, plus you'd not be able to buy as your not a dealer.

Nef: they '65 Mercury is going on the block today so donno yet.

Paolo: I have not worked at tims in like 4 years. I could as I still know a few people that work at the old location I worked at.

the only 06+ Vw's I've seen was a 2009 Golf / Rabbit (ex rental) and a 2007 Jetta GLi, but there are a few city models of each here too, about 3 or so. but if I see on I'll let you know, often there are a few GE Jettas, but GE will not be running until june 10th.

FYI that lotus sold for $36,000.

I like that Meteor...it's like a Continental, but wouldn't pay the Continental premium for it. It'd look so awesome with some elbow grease put into compounding and waxing the body, polishing the chrome, and put some chrome rims on it and just drive it.
