Default RE: Prices starting to fall

Times are bad but who with half a mind would think a 40k car is going for 15k. It does not matter what kind of car you have today. If you got to unload it in this market you’re going to get hammered. After all; as with anything else demand will drive the price. Speaking of demand let’s look at the challenger.. On the other side you still have dealers wanting top dollar if they have one. You have another group wishing they could get one or get the car they ordered built. Even on ebaymotors they are selling in the upper 30's. As far as I am concerned Ebay is a cheap as it gets.. But there still is a group that thinks a garage queen with some dust on it is going to fall in their hands for 20k or less. I find all these talks about the cars light humor but do not make sense. Very counterproductive and it surprises me it comes from an enthusiast site …

As far as where Chrysler, Ford or GM or any corp. will be.. Who knows.. I hope they are still with us. But one thing for sure is they will not be the same. When I got my license it was at the end of the muscle car era. Well they were still around but had pitiful HP, Gear ratios to get as much MPG as you could from a 3 speed auto or 4 speed manual. Compression ratio of 7.. It was sad times..

So finally with the use of technology you can get a muscle car again. But someone decides were going to run out of oil and the world has to change in one day. So let’s drive the price thru the roof..Than we get into the most difficult economic times in many decades. So hear we are today crazy about a car that will not meet future requirements.

So what is my point.. I think the new Challenger is going to take the path of the old one. It came and went very fast. So if you have a 08 or a 09 or a RT or SRT, auto or stick. When things turn around you will not have to worry about the car selling for 15k. But on the other hand did you buy it for what you could sell it for or to enjoy the ride.

Sorry to rant on but these post about what your car is worth is bothering me a bit..
