What is it that you read that makes you believe it couldn't change? Serious question, I'd like to read it too.
Development, process changes with manufacturing, part numbers, etc etc. Bottom line: cost. If I were to just logically think things through.
I'd have to find it on here. There were some Ford insiders/sales guys that posted the official documents just showing the only changes were colors. I've read other things via Google searches as well. I'm not sure how accurate those are, but there seems to be a consensus from a bunch of different sources that shows no other changes.
It works both ways when the industry changes. Kind of like the end of the 60's when companies stopped making the old muscle cars. They were worth nothing for a while and now some are worth a lot. Of course not many of us will hold onto these cars for 40-50 years.
This is true, the M2 and M3/4 fair a little better, but everything else depreciates very quickly. Especially the higher buck/loaded 5/6/7 series cars (including the M versions). That's why most people lease those things.
this is why I'm logically thinking the dash is something that will change with the 350 in 18. I didn't read anywhere it says for certain, therefore it could change. There is nothing there that couldn't easily be upgraded thru software for the GT350, from a regular Mustang. I would think easily changing a program would be easier than having different parts made, inventoried, installed etc.
I'll try and find the thread.
Yeah, I like the current read out for a timeless look.
Agreed, that's the problem with electronics in cars. It's hard to make them not look outdated in a relatively short amount of time. I agree though it does look cool. Maybe some brand will make it an option someday and charge a bunch of money for traditional gauges.
That's a dealer. It's their job and it's what they LOVE to do - low ball a practically new car.If a low mile non R in great condition is worth 40K in 5 years I'll be stunned. I'll be happy, but it sounds way to good to be true. I and many others here have already had dealers only offer us 45k on our non Rs.
I know it isn't retail, but it reflects a softening of the market. There are too many variables to be able to accurately guess what the value will be in 5 years. My guess would be high 20s/low 30s for the example I gave in 5 years. Which, would still be very good IMO.
. (That was overexaddurated for humor!).I don't necessarily disagree, but it is a wait and see game. It depends on the regional market as well, even the new cars have softened so it goes to show why it has on the use ones as well.That's a dealer. It's their job and it's what they LOVE to do - low ball a practically new car.
Respectfully - you're smoking crack.
It's so much car for that money. It's in a different league than previous ones. I'll again use the Audi RS4 as an example. There have been RS5s... the S4s even outperform it and have more tech but 4 year old S4 has depreciated a higher percentage than a 10 year old RS4. I'll buy another one in 5 years for $30k if one of you guys want to sell me your nice low mileage car.
Thanks and here is the thread I've been referencing.
