Seeing as how the current base MSRP of $41,995 for an SSR is out of my reach, I was wondering what others feft the market will bear for these vehicles in 3-4 years as used cars? Can you possibly compare them to a C6 Corvette in terms of depreciation? My dad just recently sold his 55 Belair street rod and purchased a 1999 red Corvette convertable for $29,500. The corvette had every option except heads-up display and only 14,000 miles. This car listed new in the upper 50k if I recall.

My point being do you think these vehicles may possiby follow like the corvettes? One can only hope http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I recall learning of the first SSR available to public sold on ebay for something like 169K, #2 of the signature series.

Loved the SSR commercial during the Super Bowl. Give me your thoughts http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

I just got rid of my 99 vette vert, sticker was $48k with a 6 spd, but without HUD. I am sure if they limit the SSR production, it will still depreciate but come back after it loses some of it's value. Much like new Vipers. JMO.

They will drop like a rock.I have a 92 GMC Typhoon (one of 4700 produced 92-93) that sold for 30k new.Nowadays a perfect low mileage example goes for 15-17k,and unlike the SSR,my truck will haul a**

It seems like all the hype is being the first in your area to have one. So you can pay way above sticker for an SSR, then unload it for a big loss and get a new Ford GT for double the sticker! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Honestly, I don't get the hype on a lot of these vehicles. The 93 Indy Pace Cars also were drawing $5-10K above sticker and today you would be lucky to get the sticker price for it. Obviously this is my point of view so don't take it too seriously. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/JeffSucksToo.gif
