I was doing an autotrader search for 3rd gen Camaros in the 89-92 year range and was surprised with the prices I was seeing. I only did a 200 mile search and got about a full page of Camaros in the 7k-10k price range. And a few of them were near 15k. Granted, they were the super low mileage garage queens. But come on, you can get a really nice low mileage LS1 car for that kind of coin. Most of the cars in the 7-10k range had between 25k and 50k miles on them. This is what struck me as odd. I bought my 94 Z28 6-speed hardtop last summer with only 28k in absolutely mint (and I mean M-I-N-T) condition for 7k. And as far as LT1 4th gens go, that seems to be the top of the pricerange.
Is this a sign of things to come? Is my car going to increase in value once the 5th gens come out? This doesn't make any sence to me. This post has been edited by z28jeff: Dec 12 2006, 12:59 PM |

True Pat, there's tons of overpriced "junk" out there. But, we've all seen a "time warp" 3rd gen that looks like it just rolled out of the showroom and has 25k on it that sells for something that seems insane at the time. Those are the top end of the cars I was speaking of. Then, there are the nice driver class of cars that still command good prices (from the right buyer in the right area) and then there's the junk that everyone thinks is worth the same money they saw a 25k mint IROC go for (Probably on the auction show on Speed Channel which already means it was overpriced...assuming they even do cars that new?).
Did you ever sell yours? |
