If the car is not a collectible car then why are so many COLLECTORS buying them? The Limited Edition 2008 will be a collectors car and have a MUCH greater value then the 2009 or any other normal production run of the new Dodge Challenger.
See you at Barrett Jackson in 2025-2030 when I'm being handed that big check and we can discuss it further.
Well, many "collectors" also bought the first year Mazda Miata and Corvette ZR1 and even the PT Cruiser, convinced that they'd be "instant collectibles" too (and some even paid WELL over sticker, just like alot of saps did with the 08 Challenger). 6400 cars aren't exactly "limited edition", and while they might be worth a tad more than an equivalent non-numbered 09, the 08s are gonna depreciate just like any other car. Hate to break that fact to you, but it's true.
Buy a car to ENJOY it, not as an "instant investment" deal.
I agree you do not need a little plastic dollar stoor dash to give your car collectible status. The 09s will have half the # of 08s produced without a little plaque saying so and still will probably be worth more. But in the real world your car right now is worth 35-37k. It depreciated the minute you drove it off the lot.
