Michael Jordan’s 1996 Mercedes-Benz headed to auction for just $23: All you need to know

You could own a piece of Michael Jordan’s car collection for the lowly price of $23. The 1996 Mercedes Benz S600 Lorinser is up for auction at just $23, a nod to his iconic jersey number.

The car will be up for auction on the social marketplace WhatNot, who will host the sale. Fans can enter the drawing for the car on the site. It will be released as a drop.

The vintage luxury car is valued at $120,000. The car is a black two-door sedan and was seen in the famous ESPN and Netflix documentary “The Last Dance”. The film series documented Jordan’s last season with the Chicago Bulls and his career.

The promotion is a part of the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago, which takes place from July 26-30.

The Mercedes has been offered at auctions before but no elite buyers pulled the trigger on the high ticket price. Previous deals have fallen through due to the financials involved, but it could generate much more interest at the extreme budget price of $23.
