If you guys can pay $3 for a gallon gas as opposed to just 90 cents a gallon just 7 years ago, then I don't see why you have a problem spending 15K over sticker on a most wanted car.

i just like how they contact you saying : we will sell this to you for MORE than its worth!
but its true, the price is going to be high until they cant sell anymore. if you were in the dealers position you would do the same thing. as far as the car appreciating... i doubt it. the reason the old cars appreciate is cus there were so VERY few made, and for being 40 years old they had enough power to compete with cars today.

I like what the previous poster said about "rotting in fields"...I am going to start checking those fields for rotting Shelbys in about 20 years!
They should be just about ripe for the picking by then.

+1 only a fool would buy this car as an investment. The days of buyingan original 1965shelby cobra for $8k and then selling it for $800k todayare long gone. Of course that car was only in production for 2 years. I just don't see todays shelby gt500 increasing in value anywhere near that much. It might increase over the $60k price tag, but it's going to take a long time and they'll need to stop making them now.
ORIGINAL: bascho
The reason the older GT500's have increased in value is a decrease in volume of GT500's in existance. Ford has not mentioned an end-date to GT500 production that I'm aware of.....meaning in 3 years there will be more than 30,000 GT500's rolling around. There is no way these cars will increase in value until people startcrashing them or letting them rot in fields somewhere. Anyone paying $20K over MSRP better plan on keeping the car for a very long time. It would be extremely hard to sell a car you paid $20K over MSRP for 2 years agoat the same price the dealer is selling new ones for(ADM is already lowering and disappearing in many parts of the country).
Anyone that paid good money for a GT500 should really start enjoying their car......because 30,000-40,000+ ownersobsessing over their garage/trailer queen does not make a GT500 a good long-term investment.
