Re: 10K for the right to Buy?
 

Ok but you think that these trucksor what ever they call them is realy worth almost 100K more than sticker [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]. I can see it having more value than the rest of the run but like you said Matt the Viper the first ones in 92. They where getting 200K for thoughs and I know a Dealer in Chi that still has one New But he wishes he didn't still own it.
Well people will pay what they think it is worth to them right? So who am I to say it was to much to pay. I sure would have like to been the dealer that sold that one or guy that bought it new than sold it. Not a bad days work! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Rick, Personally I think that when someone pays a great deal over the invoice amount all it does is add to the inflation hype, which causes attention to be paid to the vehicle, which in turn causes sales. Great marketing stategy. I am sure the marketing people take this into account, that would explain why these speciality vehicles always seem to have a good deal of advertising prior to release, then a few are released to each dealer, enough to cause attention, but somehow production always seems to be lagging behind enough to cause a stir and a rush to own one. A lot of the reason for the inflated prices on the speciality vehicles is the difficulty in obtaining one, people always want what they cant have, and everybody always wants to be the first to own something that is unique and hard to get. Economics 101. Supply low, demand high, inflated cost. Supply high, demand low, drop in cost. Harley inadvertantly used that stategy when overnight Hollywood decided Harleys were it and everybody wanted one, prices soared while they were hard to get because Harley could not produce enough to keep up with the demand. Now that they have caught up and the trend has subsided some, the prices are dropping fast and will continue to do so for some time yet. It will be interesting to see this GM sport truck market in a year or two.

The PT Cruisers were another vehicle to be overpriced due to supply and demand. I bought my 2002 Pt for invoice. Tried to get a used 2001, but the dealer wanted 3,000 over sticker with 14,000 miles on it. His reasoning was it will be a collector car. I think they made over 20,000 cars for 2001 over a year and half period.

All about Supply and Demand. Gotta love it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Your bid here is for the right to buy this vehicle for MSRP. Based on the fact that the initial prices on similar vehicles like the Dodge Viper, Plymouth Prowler, PT Cruiser, BMW Z8, and other similarly limited production vehicles were in some cases selling for OVER TWICE the suggested retail price, several enthusiastsí web sites, (www.ssr.com) are estimating that these trucks will be selling in the same range, nearly TWICE the retail price!
