Parking in Seattle is a major headache for drivers. One driver was willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to secure a spot.

A parking spot in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood has sold for $56,000 ... and according to its Redfin ad, you get to park next to a Delorean!

The parking space is in a garage connected to condos. Though the pricey spot alone does not come with housing or other amenities, according to the Seattle Times.

This is the second spot that's sold for five-digits in Seattle over the past year, both by the sale real estate agent Jimmy Chuang. He also sold a space in Capitol Hill, notorious for difficult parking.

In a twist, the Belltown buyer has actually owned this spot before, and bought it again because its close to their home.
