Car Market's Dropping - What are you eyeing

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Yeah, he’s walked away from, or missed several good deals for cars around 3-6k. None were perfect. But many had good paint/body and just needed some heavy maintenance.

If a good bones car comes along for 5k and it’s got a blown engine I’d say snap it up in an instant. It’s just an engine. Reman or build to suit depending on if it’s a flip or keep.

You're acting like that car won't be at 95K-100K in the next hour

I'm OK with that because 4 months ago it would have been >$120k.

Let's see where it ends

If you want an early deal on a used car in 2023, consider a minivan and think about buying domestic, experts say.

This is why I am holding off buying cars now. Unless I find a great deal I may wait a while and fix up my Caddy to limp along until we get to carmageddon.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Gents, the time to purchase is *almost* nigh. Prices are already going down and with a likely recession in 2023 it seems like the next 3-12 months could be a good time to buy a car

I think you prob all know what I'm windowshopping. Seems like the average shelby listing price has dropped at least $10k in the last few weeks. With a filter for nothing >20k miles there are several for sale asking in the 70's and dozens <$85k. A silver 2020 CFTP sold by me for $89k a few weeks ago which is basically unheard of.


So...what are you looking at as prices drop

Almost a year later…gt500 market, and the performance car market in general, has basically gone nowhere lol. Fack.

Pay to play

Just man the fuck up and buy.

Yeah all the normal sheep heard standard cars are dropping but anything fun not so much.

Besides Trucks but not paying 45k+ for an F150

Audi GT Etrons are pretty much half off at a year old with 10k miles or less. If I was in the market I’d be looking at one of those.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

C8s can be found under 70K now.

c7z’s are still ridiculously priced.

I spotted a c8 for 66k. But did not have the magride or z51 package I wanted.

2022, rapid blue 1lt 6500 miles for 62k. Barely any pics though.

Go look at Mach E prices, lol.

I think only elec I would buy would be a Tesla.

I don’t think Father Time will be kind to the c8.

I mean they already look like a 15 year old Ferrari copy so…..

Exactly. Well, worse actually. A 360 and F430 look better because the design is cohesive.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

A lot of the ones I’ve seen are usually higher option cars. I think traded in for the new flavor. Z06 or eray take your pic.

But I also see tons of bare bones cars that are slightly used but priced nearly exactly the same as I could order from the factory right now.

And for new car money why wouldn’t I just order one the way I want it.

I’m kind of just waiting to see what the demand for the c8z does in the next year. I’m planning on a poverty spec with the z07 package. If that doesn’t work out I’ll just order a c8z51 the way I want and be done with it.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Chevy doubled down on C7 styling and somehow made it worse. You can’t change my mind.

F250 XLTs still 80k trucks, fuck out of here. Mach E’s still sitting on dealer lots for tens of thousands off and aren’t moving. Lightning effectively killed.

Can’t find any C6Z worth a fuck that isn’t insanely overpriced. Then again the last I checked was a few months ago.

Z07 cars have barely budged on price, I think due to supplier shortfalls on the carbon fiber parts. At least that’s what I’ve read

Anyone that paid over msrp for a base (not z06 = base) c8 is going to lose their ass, predictably so. I agree the base cars won’t age well, I think the z06 will though. It’s numbers are just too impressive for the price

 

[Rent Free]

I think C8s will fare ok given the market they attract. They wont be given away. Kind of like C7Zs they were cheapest right before covid now back up in the high 60s low 70s for well optioned ones.

Just man the fuck up and buy.

Clocks ticking. Life's moving faster than ever. Can't get these years back.


'it doesn't look good on paper not gunna do it'

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Can afford a fun car at current value but would rather be bored af and a cheap ass

Numbers guys can't be car guys and car guys can't be number guys.

Narrow body hellcats have bottomed out and then some. You can get those for invoice minus rebates. Only the NB ones though. The WB ones are still over sticker.

Everything else still trying to get over sticker because the dealers are trying to be greedy fucks. Stock is not an issue anymore. Might be in 6 months, but even though the last camaro walked off yesterday, they are still sitting everywhere even ZL1's.
