The Most Expensive Craigslist Items in Seattle

Luxury Yachts At The 2014 London Boat Show

I’ve mentioned before about how I’m a current resident in the great city of Seattle, Wa., and, as someone who visits various parts of the city quite frequently, I can tell you that there seems to be a lot of wealthy people here. With the tech industry booming in the city—Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and other big name businesses hail from here—there is a lot of money floating around in an industry that continues to evolve. For that reason, I figured it would be fun to try and find some of the most expensive items on the Seattle Craigslist page, hoping to find some gems that would really show not only the taste and local flavor of the people in town, but also just how much things can cost when in a big city that’s as thriving as Seattle is. While there aren’t too many residents who flaunt their net worth around like those in other cities—yes, millionaires drive Prius’ here—there are sure to be some good things online for sale.

So go ahead and take a look at what I dug up.

8. $15,999 – Harley Davidson

Rather than one of the cars or boat you’re about to see for sale, why not let your wild side breathe a little bit by getting yourself the most popular and prestigious motorcycle on the planet, a Harley Davidson? Coming with dual seating to allow your favorite person to ride on back with you, there’s a ton of different cliffs and bays that are perfect to drive to in Seattle and, well, all over the state of Washington, that this is a perfect alternative to a car. While you won’t be able to ride it year-round—you know, it does rain quite a bit in the winter around here—it’s a great price for a toy that you can use from the early parts of April to the middle of October. And, just think, it’s not too expensive at $15,999.

7. $20,995 – BMW 750Li

One of the most prestigious cars on the planet, there aren’t too many people I know who wouldn’t love the chance to drive a BMW. And this one, just so happens, looks the part of a classic Beemer, with the metallic gray exterior and the black on black leather on the inside. WIth all the key features that most of the other German-made cars come with, this is a complete steal at just under $21,000, meaning that you can look like you really care by rolling with the other guys who drive nice cars at the office, but without all the guilt since you paid far less than they did on a similar, luxury car.

6. $21,432 – Dodge Charger

Although many might not think that there are too many BMW’s that are less expensive than a Dodge Charger, this 2013 model of the Charger is actually a little pricier than the aforementioned Beemer. As one of the most exciting and eye-catching cars on the road today, this car looks like a classic muscle car, but without all the extra features that makes the driver looks overly pretentious. And at just over $20,000, it would be a perfect addition to any garage—especially when considering it’s just last year’s model and brand new! There aren’t many other cars that can claim as reliable and stylish as a Dodge, so purchase this and be happy you did for the next 15-plus years.

5. $23,253 – BMW 750i

I know someone who drives one of these bad boys around, and I can tell you that it is about as smooth as it looks on a computer screen. This one might look a little more grown-up with it’s dark green exterior, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not still a great car to ride around town. It’s a classy look and can be yours for under $25,000. So whether you’re a family man or an up-and-coming tech guru, set the right impression by making this your ride.

4. $24,900 – Box Truck

No one likes the hassle of figuring out when the right U-Haul truck is available, so save yourself the headaches and get your own moving truck, as this box truck is available on Craigslist right now. At 16-feet, it’s a perfect size for everything you might need to move either around town or cross-country, so go ahead and make it yours. With a price of just under $25,000, this truck is a steal for those who might want to bring the band back together and travel the country for different shows. And if music isn’t your thing, at least you have something that can get you around—but be prepared to always get asked for help when a friend is moving.

3. $34,999 – Porsche 911

If you’re really looking to step up your car game, look no further than this beauty of a ride. If there’s one car that draws the looks of everyone who isn’t in it, it’s a Porsche 911, which tops out around 200 miles per hour and is sleek as it is cool. This version happens to come equipped with tinted-out windows and black hub caps that will make everyone who sees it pass by wonder just who might be in it. For those looking for a complete show-stopper, this should be what you buy.

2. $41,750 – BMW M6

From the looks of these photos, the seller isn’t kidding when saying that this BMW is in excellent condition—because it’s as sharp as a knife whether on the road or just sitting in the driveway. M6’s are the, arguably, the finest and most recognized cars that BMW makes, so, for those who want to keep up with the Jones’, why not indulge yourself with one of the best. At just over $40,000, it’s actually quite a deal, leaving a pretty broad range of possible customers to purchase it. With a top speed of 200 miles per hour, make sure you save a little dough for any potential speeding tickets—because it will be tempting to put the pedal to the medal.

1. $135,000 – 46-Foot Boat

With so much water surrounding the entire city of Seattle, it’s rare not to see a boat floating around. It doesn’t matter if it’s warm out or chilly, many utilize the different ports, bays and lakes that the city has to enjoy some R&R on the water. So, naturally, there’s a 46-foot boat that can be all yours for the cool price of $135,000. In all honesty, getting your own boat that could house a small family or decent sized party for a night on one of the lakes isn’t actually all that bad. It’s the same price someone would pay for a super-expensive race car, so why not mix it up and get yourself the boat instead?
