402 original miles 2000 Chevy Metro 1.0 / 5 speed up for auction!

This is nuts:









It's a 402 original mile Metro currently up for auction on Bring A Trailer. The original owner bought it new & put it away to have a "new" fuel efficient car on hand in case he needed it!

He eventually bought a Tesla. No need for hoarding old ICE eco-cars any more!

Even crazier: the auction is at $18k USD as of this morning.
