Is it me? Have used GT350 price jumped up lately?

Same color/stripe combo, but could be different car. Like is said, it was at Carmax in Sac and then all of a sudden it wasn't. It's possible that someone had it shipped to the other location, but it's now 2400 miles away from here. This was right when COVID started. The car wasn't clean, but that was the same with every car. As far as it's condition, the things i remember that stuck out to me was the front splitter and the sagging rear bumper. It was the first and only car i drove prior to buying my Grabber Blue. I never went back to look at the car more closely as i had crossed 16's off my list.

Actually, looking through the pics again on Carmax, is that rear bumper a different color? I'm a little color blind but it looks like maybe it's been replaced?

Color on the bumper looks the same, but I've scratched this one off my list (possibly 2016's all together as well unless its a deal with an extended warranty). I'll try to be patient and keep my eyes open!

Used vehicle prices are up at greater percentages all over country. Cars like these didn't see the same average increase as more common vehicles.. but as you can see they still improved. For now.

As new vehicles stopped being manufactured due to covid19, trades dried up. Dealers had to turn somewhere to get used inventory.. Heck to get anything to sell.. The trouble with the auctions are that Carvanna and Carmax overpay for everything. So now everyone in the lane is invested in mutual destruction The NADA started printing weekly updates to keep up with the swings. Dealers are putting money into vehicles they would have never resold before. Vehicles previously sitting over 60-90 days, now is their time to shine.

IMO, definetly not a time to buy a daily driver or commuter unless you plan on driving the wheels off.

Not a fan of MMR but this will put the swings in perspective. Uncommon vehicles drag us to center, but bread and butter sedans are going for insane money right now.

I just picked up a 1/54 2018 Magnetic Grey Blue/Black stripes with 10k miles for 47k. I couldn't believe it, super nice guy that would rather sell to me than a dealer who also offered 47k.

You got 1/54th of a car for $47k?

Yeah I'm kicking myself for not buying a 350 back when COVID was in full swing.

But I couldn't wait any longer. I found a somewhat decent deal on a 17' 350 that I might pull the trigger on. The good thing is financing on my end is rock solid. The bad is that my waiting for the perfect 350 ultimately made me miss the boat on rock bottom pricing.

 

[BufordTjustice]

what did you pay? how many miles?

It was listed for 52k with 7200mi on it. But I haven't passed papers yet.

I went the Carmax route because I can't find anything locally. So right now it's as good as mine as I'm awaiting transfer.

I was about to post this info and this graph lol.

It aint here to stay, IMPO. But I dont have a crystal ball, so anyone's guess is as good as mine.

I started looking at GT350's this week. Admittedly I look at them every 6 months or so and havent pulled the trigger yet, but one day I will... regardless... I was wondering if the covid bump had affected these cars, and it seems to me like it has.

I thought this was interesting - look at the last 30 days:

And it keeps going up. One month later:

I guess that’s why I’m seeing allot of people selling their cars. Thanks for the info.
