When a listing is removed by the seller without a SOLD price, we display the last asking price detected before it was removed.
CLASSIC.COM is not a traditional marketplace; it is a search engine and pricing platform designed to provide comprehensive market data for classic and exotic cars. We maintain past listings as permanent records to ensure our market analytics remain valuable to collectors, enthusiasts, and industry professionals. This approach also benefits listing providers by driving SEO value, website traffic, and exposure in key markets.
What Is "Last Asking" Price?
Once a listing is no longer active, we display the most relevant price reference to provide valuable insights into market trends. Ideally, this would be the sold price of the vehicle. However, if a sold price is not available for a fixed-price listing that has been removed, we default to the last asking price—the final price at which the vehicle was listed for sale.
Can a Seller Remove the "Last Asking" Price from Past Listings?
Currently, the "Last Asking" price remains part of our records to support accurate and comprehensive market data. While it cannot be removed, it can be updated if a SOLD price is provided. We are also continually refining our user experience to ensure clarity regarding how this information is presented.
