2015 GT350 vs 2016 GT350

[obgod3]

What Mustang built in the last 20 years appreciated beyond its original value? If history shows us anything, like those who bought the KR, the GT350 is unlikely to appreciate.

Amen!

I don't think 20 years from now a 2015 GT350 will be worth any more than 2016.

My dad collected cars all his life looking for that "one" and when he passed away he had 12. To date the only car that has held its value was the 89 911 turbo, it will still cost you 70k+ if you can find one.

Hype, sure it will be the hype for the next three years but when there are 40k of these running around it won't matter, and the newer ones will be better in some way.

But if I could buy a 2015 for the sticker price you bet I would because it is a bad ass car not because of the potential future value, there are much better ways to spend your money if that's what your looking for.

Will the 2016 GT350 get the hood blinkers?

Also in my mind, cars are depreciating assets(Unless it's an exotic or a classic or a GT3) None of my cars have been garage queens, and I don't plan on starting now. If I'm paying for it, I'm going to use it and enjoy it.

There is no GT nostrils on the GT350.

One of the reasons I stress trying to get a unbuilt 2015 allocation. The Hood turn signals, you can't even see both sides, unneeded complexity and weight in my opinion.

Aren't the nostrils only on the California package [emoji845]?

Mine has... and I know a couple of other Boss 302s Shelbys that have appreciated exponentially.

If you think that modern day Mustangs are lame duck appreciators then you are not appreciating the right ones.

The local dealer here has a grabber green boss 302 for sale discounted big time, he ain't gettting any bites on it. Any takers...

So anyone who knows about investments will tell you that cars are one of the worst of any "investment". That being said there are a few out there that command big dollars for whatever reason. I think folks will find that these types of cars are very specific, limited numbers that have typically some nostalgic value and don't get built again the next year, maybe.

But if someone wants a 2015 GT350 for whatever reason they should get one, it doesn't matter why you want it.

A car to me will never be an investment, just doesn't fit my portfolio strategy.

Would love to have a 2015 GT350 though.

The most important factors regarding the speculative values of the 2015 GT350s and GT350Rs are their rarity, their 50th Anniversary provenance and that each will be a car of "firsts" - first U.S. flat-plane V8, highest horsepower naturally-aspirated engine, first Shelby completely engineered and built by Ford (although Carroll Shelby did have input in the planning stages early on), etc. These qualities add up to a combination that has a great amount of appeal to certain collectors.

In general, new cars are a lousy investment, and most people don't have the knowledge (or luck, bank account or patience) to buy the ones that will be worth a significant amount more in the future. However, there's an opportunity for the first owners of 2015 GT350s and GT350Rs to make money: 1. On an immediate resale after delivery (no miles); 2. In about 10 years, depending on what the CAFE standards really are in 2025; and 3. In about 20-25 years at collector car auctions, for completely original cars that haven't been driven and have been stored properly for their entire lives.

But what the heck fun is that? :shrug:
