My two cents worth:
This car may be somewhat collectible someday but even if you own and mint 1970 Cuda worth 250,000.00, it would have cost you way more than that to maintain and store and insure it. If you are storing this car to someday make money, I have some swamp land in Florida for you.
I am also one who paid over sticker price and have not seen another on the road since July 18 when I picked it up. You guys who waited around for invoice lucked out with gas prices collapsing sales of all muscle cars and trucks. Please don't tell me how smart or how rich you are. It was dumb luck.
I waited two years for Ford GT prices to come down. It didn't happen. I waited for a year to buy a Shelby GT 500 without a 20K markup. No Luck! Life is all about timming. I paid extra for this car because I decided I was going to have it regardless of who else wanted one and I got it and now I'm flogging it every day. I still thing it's the most beautiful car I've ever seen but the 68-71 era of muscle cars only happened once and any way you slice it, there will be a lot of these cars.
PS
I bought my orange car because Dodge said it would not be available in 09. They changed their mind and devalued my car. Pisses me off!
LOL are you joking.
It is called being smart and knowing when to buy. Any american car gas guzzler or not always goes down in price and you get really good deals. Just like the corvette now is at 40k, amazing price and whoever waited got a whole lotta car for 40k. So stop being jealous that some of us got invoice or under msrp. It is a choice, you want to be first on the block? good for you. But for us who want the car of our dreams at a good price we have no problem waiting for a sale. Which is great because while dealers have the 08s collecting dust on their lots , the 09s are coming in, meaning the 09s are pretty much coming in at the same time most 08s do. I have no problem with you getting a car over msrp but to say that is was dumb luck for us who waited to get invoice or msrp is just plain dumb. I could have ordered an 08 at msrp and decided not to becuase 09s had better color options. You have to do your homework to get good deals, you cant just go to your local dealer and look at the sticker and say OH MAN ITS NEVER GOING DOWN IN PRICE!
my 2 cents.
