gents, there’s an easy way to increase the value of our cars. STOP trading them in. trades are the primary source of used cars in the market. You dont HAVE to accept that lowball offer. Eventually, they will HAVE to pay more if they want the car, that will increase the market price and thus the...
There was a guy in sac selling a pair. His had popped the side airbag. Just making sure this isn’t the same set. Please confirm.
I would sure rather have leather over fake suede.
I’ve spoken directly to their techs and they were very knowledgeable about servicing the 350. Known issues, etc.
I’m very comfortable with them working on my 350.
Unhandled, what I like about your post is your certainty. That’s cool, no wondering or waffling. You dig it a certain way and you stick with that, yet you are willing to try different things. Good for you, I think I’m the same way. It’s about experiencing the unique features of each ride and...
“By then many of them will be crashed or have blown engines....“
Lol, many will blow their engines and then crash. I agree with you, the GT3 is just dang....wow... I’m a Porsche guy too and decided to try the 350 instead of the 911S manual I was looking at due to the 33k difference in price. I...
Just a comment on your statement about making it look like an R. Bro, do whatever you want. Make it look like a Ferrari if you want. Anyone judging you on how you kit out your ride is a idiot. It’s yours to modify to suit. Have a blast with it. Congratulations!.
I recently saw an article where...
I hear ya, when I was looking dealers were blowing smoke about slow depreciation and eventual appreciation. I laughed, and told them 10k per year for the first two years and then 5k until bottoming around 35k. I base this on what I see with the prior gen GT500. The correlation is not the car...
Nobody is offering such a car for sale, so what you or anyone would pay is not relevant. I would not expect any substantial discount on a car that was fixed. You might get a bit off, maybe a couple grand, but there’s plenty of buyers out there that will see the car, and buy it because it’s pretty.
I read your story and I have to say, none of that would put me off. My front splitter is scraped to hell. My driveway has a slight incline and when backing out, it scrapes. So what. It’s not like it’s carbon fiber, its cheap plastic. I couldn’t care less about that or the paint chip on the...
I wouldn’t hold back on a car due to prior owners. My only considerations would be, how does it feel when driving?, and what did my independent mechanic say about the car when I had it inspected. Nothing else matters. At 40k ish, its a steal compared with anything in the market, including later...
Like I said, the 350 is a great value, especially for anyone who buys a 16 for 38k. You can’t touch the performance for less than 100k on a used Audi R8, or similar but much older supercar.
A corvette may be similar in value proposition, but I’m not really a Chevy enthusiast.
I hate to break it to you guys, but our cars are not going to appreciate in value in any meaningful way in the next 20 years. The truth is that these are just mustangs and many were made. Anyone can buy the version of their dreams, easily. They are not hard to find. Look at the market, they are...
Well, the world is full of too many people who have to have it now, and are willing to pay the “now” tax. As a business, the dealer is maximizing their profits on a rare-ish commodity.
I would remind everyone that the market price for a 350 really depends on the region. In California, prices are higher and there is high demand. Just because someone else somewhere else got a better deal, doesn’t mean you are entitled to and will be able to get a similar deal.
I don’t think...
I was in Half Moon Bay and stopped by James Ford. They have 7 GT350’s out front. A sales person came out to talk with us to see if we were interested in a deal. I let them know I already had one. They suggested I trade up.
I said you have quite a collection here. They said, we’re very proud of...
