Resale Value

akmana · 08-02-2011, 10:37 PM

How do you think this car will hold up given that it is so limited? Does anyone selling one of these things used?

I'm assuming quite well. Have yet to even see one on the road yet, but have seen two on the show room floor.

Some have been trying to sell used for above MSRP at the moment.
I've even received a call from a dealer that failed to get me an allocation asking if I would like a used 1M optioned at $54,000 for $56,000

Looks good so far. (resale i mean)

There's a couple of UK cars on Pistonheads at the moment for approx Â£1000 less that list.

It will be worth 10 cents in a years time. Just buy it and enjoy it pal. If it's as good as everyone says we won't want to sell

German car website Mobile.de is offering 2nd hand models with up to 7k miles almost exclusively over MSRP (~51k Euro)!!

Thoughts on resale value development over time? F.i. is it normal for the resale already to go up, while the car (at least in Germany) is possible to order/ in production?

There are a lot of rare/limited run cars out there but once the hype dies down in 6-12 months all this price-gouging stupidity will go away.

Limited production cars in the US are considered "modern classics" in 10 years (as opposed to the normal 15-25 year mark). The reason I know this is because my old 2001 Type-R will become a modern classic car next year. The run was from 97-98 and 00-01. The owner clubs applied for it and it was granted by the AACA. Pretty cool, I thought. So I would say, depending on how long you keep the car for...it could do well. UK has similar rules but aren't as strict as the US. There are some tax benefits at around the 25-30 year(?) mark, but I don't think that you can get around that one...I don't know about the rules over the pond for sure.
