Depreciation

[2008 GT-C]

As the owner of a 08 Shelby-GT I enjoy everything about the car. This was my first new car purchase. I can't sell it for what I paid for it but maybe that will change over time. It gets driven to work, for pleasure and vacation. During SAAC-49 I spoke to members who stated that they paid around $1500 for their first Shelby from the previous owner. Did anybody think that a 65-70 Shelby would be worth what they are valued today? Until that time I am going to drive my car as Shelby intended them to be. I have a co-worker who keeps his 07 Shelby in a bubble and can't understand how I could drive my car the way I do. Have a great day fellow Shelby owners.

     I passed on a quite nice, '67 GT500, 4-spd., white w/ blue stripes, black interior, sitting on a used car lot, because the Dealer was stuck on $4500 and I wasn't going to pay more than $4200, which at the time I thought was quite generous!

Market value, good ole honest bidding.

.............good ole honest bidding.

      As having attended and participated in many an auction format of selling "stuff", and at times being very well aware of the behind the scenes ongoings, I've pretty much given-up on the general idea of accepting the vocabulary of "honest" being utilized to describe most any "auction"!
