Default WE NEED TO MAKE A change!~!!!

People our cars are worth alot more than we look at them! We make the market go up or DOWN! We need to take control of what these cars should be worth! Im getting really tired of how these cars have been treated! These cars are little super cars and only so many in existence and we sell them at less than 20000 price tags!!!!!!!!!! whats wrong with you people? Im calling out everyone who thinks this car is worthless! People who are enthusiats know what I mean! I bought my car when it first got released knowing that this car in the future will be worth a bundle of money! We need to make these pimp little cars unaffordable and unobtainable!!!!! Keep your cars people....THIS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE ADAILY DRIVER but a fun weekend car, a collectable! KEEEEEEeeeeeeep your cars! there are not that many avail!!!!!! you will regret it! Why drive down our numbers? I can't tell people what to do with there cars but have some respect for others on this forum that are true enthusiasts and make these cars what they should be! UNOBTAINABLE!

not sure what one your talking about the regular ones or the srt and i think its great where the price is. Its funny cause when i race a porsche or something that is stupidly expensive i laugh my *** off at them cause i spent 20 thousand on a car that will beat theres any day. I ask these people why they spend 50 or 60 thousand on the porsche or lexus when you can buy something for cheaper and faster. Also im happy that it was only 20 thousand because if it was any higher then i wouldn't be driving around a srt. But i do agree with that in the future we should find a way the raise the price so we cant have dumb kids taking the precious crossfire out and ruining them. I like your idea of if you have a crossfire don't sell it unless you have to. If you have a srt dont even think about selling it at all these cars are only going to get more rare every year that goes by. I plan on keeping mine for ever cause just think in 30 years if i keep it nice which i will think about how much my car is going to be worth. No offience to the older men and women on this forum but how many of you wish that they would have kept a 69 charger or a nice old muscle car. SO KEEP YOUR CARS

Your thoughts are solid, your spelling of our/are makes it difficult to read.

Agreed, I have updated the price in my ad to sell my car to reflect this!

I really don't want to sell it, obviously

SRT6.....I think 20 grand is a slap in the fast considering that 99 & 2000 vettes are still selling for that! and like you said if you hadn't seen this car 20000 you wouldn't have bought it , and thats kinda of my point! there would be alot of people like you saying that and at the end of the day these cars would be unobtainable by price point or circumstance....No offense Im glad you got an srt6 (GREAT CHOICE by the way) but figuratively speaking my point is clear! I just want to take control of what we have and control the pricing!

This is refreashing. I thought it was going to be another obama thread.

If all of us keep our cars and never sell them this is definitely the change we need.

Not going to like this but there is now one selling for $13.9K. By that standard I even overpaid by 5K and I thought I got such a great deal on a used one. Unbelievable since a used Honda Civic would cost you as much as this car is selling for.

To raise prices in a competitive market - one must manipulate supply or manipulate demand (Just ask the oil companies)

Well I don't have an SRT so you may have different views than me. I settled for a low mileage 2004 Coupe.

I am very conservative and thought one day I wanted to own at least one Corvette in my life. While just looking and not serious, I came across a Crossfire on a dealer lot - it really got my attention.

After looking at about 10 more of them in different variations, we settled for one. I knew it as soon as I pulled up to it. It was the PRICE that sold us on the Crossfire. It is unfortunate about the serious depreciation on these cars, but I took advantage of it and came out of it with a car I never thought I would have ever owned. I recall seeing the sticker on these cars when they first hit the market.

My plans of owning a Corvette are now forever gone. The Crossfire filled all the need at a much lower cost. I hear it all the time from people how I shouldn't be driving my car in the rain, it is a collectors car, for weekend drives and car shows. Sorry, I bought mine to drive, but still take very good care of it. People tell me these cars are going to be worth money some day. I laugh, some day I might be dead, for now I am enjoying the heck out of it.

As with many hobbies, when people start to think about the "future value" of their toys, the enjoyment is lost. I see it everyday in other hobbies I am involved in.

Just drive and enjoy the ride. James
