The BMW E9X M3 looks to be going for $25,000-$35,000 depending on year and mileage.

Seems like the GT350 should be similar. More performance but less luxury. Not sure if the lower luxury makes the car less desirable, or if it will make the car age better since it may not seem as outdated.

Would also depend quite a bit on how the Mustang evolves. If the Mustang in 5 years manages to capture the same feelings of excitement, then the GT350 will be less valuable. If the Mustang loses the "fun to drive" factor, then the GT350 will be well sought after.

I really think it will be more like 25 years from now when the car will really be appreciated. Sort of like how the air-cooled Porsches are very expensive these days.

Just need to hold on to the car through the "beater years".

Non-Rs will depreciate on schedule as with any other automobile. Rs will also depreciate (but at a slower rate) then jump back up in 20-30 years or so. I think the trend away from large-displacement NA-engined vehicles will keep the "tree fiddys" valuable to the enthusiast. Look at what Pony cars are getting at B-J and Mecum auctions as of late. In 40 years, my son will pay a small fortune for a 2016-2019 GT350R and collectors will pay high 6-figures for a 2015 GT350R.

I was at the dealership yesterday where Chris's base R sits on the showroom floor. I was told many people were interested in buying it and of course everyone was told "NOT FOR SALE". One persons attempt to buy it anyway led up to incremental offers up to just shy of 100K. I know its hard to believe (either side of the story), but I have never known them to be anything but truthful.

Who knows what would have happened if they said "OK, lets draw up the papers".

My response to that was I have a brand new R sitting in my garage with 180 miles on it, see if he wants mine for a 30K markup.......

My R just had its yearly tax assessment. The little year sticker in the corner of my plate cost me $800, double what I paid last year since I moved to a more democratic city.

The tax assessor hit me up with a book value of $48k. I didn’t argue one bit as I went over to KBB and it was over $50k, and then a little perusal through eBay showed 16MY R’s anywhere from $79k to $100k+.

$10. I'll give you $20 right now so you can double your profit

Actually, notes are not “money”... they’re currency. Pro tip.

I said it's what we call money...real money is gold. I wouldn't even call it currency...I'd call it debt or better yet, asswipes.

With that said the value could realistically be 1,000,000 in a decade once we inflate our currency in to no existence.

Correct... gold is one form of “money”. Federal Reserve Notes are essentially promissories. To call it currency is appropriate, since you get paid in notes which then transmit value to the you (currency - an exchange of your labor for a promise of whatever rate you are contracted).

I doubt we’ll ever live to see a GT350 escalate in price, due to inflation, to $1-mil. At that point, everyone should be more worried about the purchase of foods and basic needs.

Interesting discussion, though. Thanks for the conversation brother!

I believe it. I bought my R at a dealership 1600 miles from me over a year ago. Apparently a day or two after it arrived at the dealership another salesrep there got an offer from a customer on the lot for $15k over and it almost went to him until the manager told him that the rep I was working with had already made the sale. Again, no way to know for sure, but given that awhile back another forum member lost their R that way, plausible.
