Re: Fair Price for an SRT-6 Coupe
Fair price is determined by the individual. What is worth $200 to me may be good for less than a buck to you. Kinda funny the way that works.
I'd really like to do one at $25K. I'll fudge to $27K if the car is nice. I've found 4 in the right color that fall into that range. They are a little too far to run out and back on a weekend to see so I'm relying on contacts in those areas to send me pictures and a report on the cars. These are all used cars with less than 1,500 miles on them.
What's 1,500 miles in the life of the car? Merely a drop in the bucket. It doesn't make them any less a Crossfire because someone else took the hit. I can run a VMI on the VIN and get the vehicle history. Carfax is nice too. Luckily, you've got to go through some serious gyrations to get KATRINA VEHICLE off a title (not supposed to happen) so those cars are fairly easy to avoid.
I've got two buyers going to two separate dealer auctions next week and they'll be looking for me as well. Either of them will call if they turn up any leads.
The money is waiting patiently and so am I.
September will be the official release of the '07 model year vehicles and the '05s will drop again.
The used car market is working at lower values due to the flood of cars dumped with all of the employee pricing events. Many more hit with all of the zero percent interest programs.
By this time next year, the market will begin to swing back (I believe) due to the number of cars sold on those programs. However, the chances of finding a new or low mileage SRT will be fairly tough.
