June 29, 2016-- Manheim Chicago held its first ever exotic highline auction on June 29, welcoming dealers from throughout the Midwest region who were seeking to add luxury vehicles to their inventory selections. The auction was held at Top Golf Chicago, an exclusive venue where dealers enjoyed dinner, beverages and a few chances at a hole-in-one.
Each of the 100 vehicles were worth more than $50,000 and were offered with complete condition reports. This highline auction featured exquisite luxury brands for discriminating dealers, including Audi, Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Land Rover, Lexus, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and Rolls Royce.
Luxury dealers seek easy and efficient ways to buy and sell high-end vehicles that could otherwise be difficult to find. These auctions, known as Manheim Exotic Highline Events, offer a wide range of vehicles and access to classic and collector cars that helps set dealerships apart. Luxury sellers are also drawn to these upscale events because Manheim attracts a wide audience with affordable auction fees and the security of guaranteed payments.
This auction was also Manheim’s first ever highline mobile event offered. Manheim Mobile auctions feature large trucks that have satellite connections and an equipment cart that can be set up practically anywhere.
Manheim Chicago attracted more than 175 dealers to the event, both live and on Simulcast. The highest dealer consignment sold was a 2010 Bentley Continental Super SPT. Other noteworthy vehicles for sale included a Lamborghini Murcielago, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Rolls-Royce ghost.
