In the market for an 06
- Thread starter TGX1
- Start date
I believe someone else stated it also but the reason the GT will hold its value is that it is unique. Porsches, Ferraris, and the like, keep comming and keep getting better. Why would anyone want last years model?
The GT is different. It was a one time shot. Mines in the garage.

Not only unique, but it represents a lot of heritage and performance first.
Looks amazing also.
Uniqueness or rarity alone is not always enough. It has to be desirable.
The GT is all these things. Just be sure to drive it too. Why save it for someone else to enjoy?

Prices
I live in the Northeast and Have been looking for a GT about a month. I found a dealer that bought one when the car first came out. He paid another dealer $218,000 for the car and now its sitting in his showroom, he wants to sell it but is so upside down he can't. I found that many dealers are still trying to get $10M,$20M above MSRP. But I found that most dealers want MSRP, no premium on top. I found a late 2005, 5 miles, all options, for $155M. Bought it but can't quite get it home, the weather has turned shitty and Gary Almond is lost in Texas.
If you want a new car, paying MSRP is not bad, at least you know the history of the car.
Could someone change my byline to GT owner, please.

There are so many threads about value and price, I am glad I get to keep using this comment I said in one of the others.
Reproduced here for your viewing enjoyment.
"OK.
I'll put an end to this thread.
The discussion centered on the potential residual value of the GT.
Well, as I see it, everything costs. So I buy a GT, meet great new friends, go to the rally of the century, enjoy the hell out of driving it, and even enjoy just looking at it and having sit in my garage. The decline (be it 10K or 100K) in value is what that privaledge costs. So did I loose money on the GT? No. I just spent money on my and my families happiness. Like having a fine dinner or a vacation - or a GT. Everything costs. So if it declines, that is what the tab was. If it goes up, then the tab was on the house. Obviously on the house is better, but I am prepared to pick up the tab.
Nuf said."
Seems to be becoming a multi-use post. :thumbsup
If anyone can get a bargain on a new one, I think there are a number of owners here that would say grab it. Used prices are probably a little softer now than they will be since new are still available - once new are gone, market will drive the used since that is "all there is".
And, ......... that is all there is.
Next topic please.

Heheh.
Soon, all the long term owner/enthusiasts can just put as our signatures:
"Yes, buy one today. It's definitely worth it. We are not selling, ever. It's the Real Deal. End of story."

Great :thumbsup
and
"I don't care about the axle bolts, No it does not have reliability issues, I don't care if a Z-06 or Viper is faster, Yes - Clarkson has a GT, No, I don't have Ferrari / Lamb envy, Yes, I have hit my head, Yes - I would buy it again"
and
"Yes, my pecker is big enough that the GT is not a phallic insecurity"

My experience tells me if the cars are going to go soft, it will be when the warranty is out or running out. This has been my experience with most every exotic I have owned. These cars are 3/36. The Vipers did well longer with 7/70. As we all know it's not miles, it's time.
Has anyone tried to purchase a factory extended warranty for one of these?
I heard of one guy with a blown bone stock motor that got his powertrain warranty extended as it died with 900 miles on it. Or so he says. I have only heard of one other one with a hurt motor.
