Do you seriously want to get your palms on a Lucid Air but aren’t keen to hold out the quite a few months it will choose for shipping and delivery? Very well, we have a alternative. Sort of.
When a short while ago searching via Copart and IAAI, we stumbled throughout not a single, not two, but a few Lucid Air styles up for auction in Florida. As you can likely all guess, all a few have drinking water hurt, inevitably brought about by Hurricane Ian.
The first and most costly of the trio is a Lucid Air Desire Version with an approximated retail price of $189,000. It is completed in white and a marker on the driver’s doorway signifies that the drinking water stage arrived at all the way to the foundation of the facet home windows. That suggests that nearly the whole cabin of the EV would have been crammed with drinking water, which means couple if any inside elements will be salvageable.

The second Lucid Air heading to auction is a Grand Touring variant. It as well is completed in white and although there doesn’t look to be a line to denote how large the drinking water was, the simple fact that the minimal VIN plaque beneath the windshield is included in dampness potential customers us to believe that that drinking water also observed its way into the cabin of this Lucid. It experienced captivated a best bid of $nine,500 at the time of composing.
Previous but not minimum is a 2nd Lucid Air Grand Touring, this time out there via IAAI. It is a minimal tricky to notify how substantial the drinking water hurt sustained to the auto is but the listing notes that the electronic instrument cluster is no for a longer period performing, indicating some major electrical challenges.
Acquiring a flood-destroyed automobile is normally dangerous and that’s specially real when the drinking water has knocked out a auto’s electrical techniques. We would steer very well very clear of these Lucid Airs.
