Man visits Florida auction to see some 1990s cars and can't believe some of the prices he sees

Seeking some throwback inspiration, one YouTuber decided to attend an auction full of 1990s cars.

From Mustangs to Rams, the auction has every relic possible, and even some newer 2000s options to cater to those who fancied something a little more modern.

As you’d expect, prices ranged from low to high, with the ’90s cars clearly being in demand for a certain set of people.

But, after watching the 1990s cars cross the stage at the auction, one by one, something became evidently clear.

It was all eyes on the prize as the auction got underway

Attending an auction is one of the best methods to secure a new car, so that’s exactly what Craig over on the Flying Wheels YouTube channel did.

No stranger to cars and even owning a Tesla Cybertruck himself, Craig was eager to discover what cars of the last two decades were really worth in 2026.

The Mecum auction took place in Kissimmee, Florida, over a couple of days. The YouTuber went along on day two, and it was clear that the event was almost like a time capsule of 1990s cars.

As far as the eye could see, there were cars from the 1990s sitting looking pretty, from Dodge, Chevy, Ford, and even a Hummer, but it wasn’t the appearance of the cars that shocked him; it was the price.

The first daily driver to hit the auction block was actually a 2002 Toyota Sienna XLE, which was selling for $7,500, which is a seemingly good deal.

Once the true ’90s heroes started to hit the block, the cost of each vehicle raised a few eyebrows, with good deals including a 1994 Nissan, which started at $3,000, but as the saying goes, the only way is up.

This could be one of the most unusual 1990s cars we’ve seen.

One of the standout pieces, though, was a 1995 Florida Highway Patrol Caprice, with some sheriffs in the back, and as you can imagine, this had a hefty price tag attached.

Thanks to the specs attached and the 350 CI V8 engine, the car ended up being sold with no reserve at $19,000.

“That just seems expensive to me,” Craig noted.

Also pleasing the crowd was a 1997 Camaro Z28, which ended up selling at $24,000, and left him speechless.

Everyone’s favorite pickup truck, the Ford-150, this one featuring the 1995 XL cab, sold for $15,000, alongside a 1996 Ford Bronco, snapped up for around $17,000.

A Mustang closely followed – 1996 Saleen GT convertible – which Nick thought may have been a clone, went for $9,000.

The biggest shock of the day for us, though?

A huge, bright red Hummer from 1995 was up for grabs, with the price not being met at a mighty $86,000, even though the owner supposedly originally wanted $90,000.

Of course, other cars took the creator’s fancy, like a Blazer from 2000, but one thing is clear.

It seems that just because a car is older, it doesn’t mean it’s necessarily cheaper.
