The Used Car Dealer to The Rich and Weird: Dodi’s Auto Sales

You may be wondering, as I do, when you drive around Monterey, and the multi million dollar homes on 17-Mile Drive, what happens to all the Benzes, Porsches and project cars that get discarded around here?

Wonder no more, instead take a gander at this locally known dealer in Monterey, that probably has the weird project car of your dreams: Lodi’s Auto Sales

Dodi’s has been around for decades, and at first glance looks out of place, like a BHPH dealer, right outside the Monterey Marina, but the inventory is for true connoisseurs. Dodi’s has probably sold your dream cars a dozen times. I almost bought here a very low price 1999 Dodge Viper, it was sold by the time I called.

Check this 1959 Ford Thunderbird, has high miles, in proper baby blue, and you can tell it was loved for a long time, and for only $10,000 is a great deal:

Need a project car? Dodi’s have those covered too:

A 1953 Mercedes Benz Adenauer, needing some love and an engine.  This is a W168 Benz, at a time, it was the post-war Flagship Benz, putting 117HP which was very impressive for its time. This one has seen better days but I bet after dumping $100,000 on this one to get it restored, you may get invited to the Pebble Beach Concourse in 4-5 years. And it is below $10,000!

Maybe you are non a Benz person, what you want is a beautiful air-cooled Porsche, so you can feel whatever you are supposed to feel when you look down on other Porsche owners because their cars require coolant and have 6 cylinders. Even if essentially you are driving a prettified version of a VW Beetle

No problem, Dodi’s has this 1962 Porsche 356, in proper original Yellow, and 27,000 miles, so you feel all the Porsche feels, and only for $72,000! Tell me this isn’t a bargain!!

You may be wondering, hey, I may need some comfort, and working AC when Monterey gets hot (what?, like 72 degrees?) and the wife needs to drop the kids at school and go shopping, lunch and visit a Spa at Carmel-by-the-Sea. No worries, thrifty, thoughtful fella, Dodi’s got you.

What about this 2023 Bentley Bentayga with AWD SUV?  At $365,000 dollars, it will look great at your classic $28 Million dollar home, with an ocean view and an Adobe front. And probably be comfy enough for the wife to drive around the 10 mile long city of Monterey in comfort and style

So, there you have it folks, go wild visiting Dodi’s Car Sales, I’m sure the Benz of your dreams is just there waiting for you, when you finally hit that Powerball or MegaMillions lottery number.
