Default Re: Values dropping according to NADA

Thanks very much for that link Jeff. I have reviewed the books numerous times as I have a friend who actually inputs for the NADA, primarily on GTO's, but I was unaware of the website where you can actually input your vehicle information.

They show different value ranges - Low Retail, Average and High. A further disclaimer indicates the High is not a "100 Point" or "Number 1" car as they assume those vehicles are not driven. These would obviously be valued above the "High Retail".

I would appreciate a couple of opinions on this if any of you are inclined. Mine is driven occassionally and the condition would fall under the "High Retail" description. It has a CE block which is obviously where the "open for value debate" comes in. When considering Muscle Cars, I have always used a reduction of about 25% or slightly higher without the original engine, then apply that percentage to the value of the vehicle relative to it's condition. Would you guys agree with that reduced percentage figure or would you feel the percentage would be different? Appreciate it.

I've been involved in this hobby for about eleven years now and I do not see the prices declining at all. My enquiry on the above website indicated a value about 10% higher than the last time I checked the book which was probably in the early summer.
