This year not much has changed even with pandemic yes they are ASKING 12,500 for the lower mile ones
but not garnering near that much.
Meanwhile the 90-120K examples are bringing 6-6500 all day long in decent shape
PRETTY OBVIOUS what we need to do...DRIVE AND ENJOY for another 60000 THEN sell it
Fun car to own no doubt about it and STILL gets the looks
I couldn't agree more. These cars are rare and every year that passes there are fewer out there. Yes, they look cool but at the end of the day, unless 40-50 years from now you own one of the last 500 in existence that are low mileage, mint and totally stock I don't see any increase in values. I say DRIVE IT AND ENJOY IT EVERY DAY! Don't keep it in a garage and take it out for special occasions and polish on it all the time between dustings. It's a friggin' cool car that in yery good condition with less than 50K on the clock may be worth $8K? It's not like we own a vintage Ferrari or something. It's a fun, RWD old school V-6 powered coupe with a Mercedes heart that can be had cheap and played with as ya see fit. Personally, I love keeping mine fully stock but that's just me. I enjoy seeing all the mods people do to them that make such a rare car their own. No doubt about it, they turn heads everywhere because they are so cool and there's nothing else like them on the road.
