What's up with C5Z prices all of a sudden?

[Troll]

i thought there was a thread on this, but we can't search 3 letters or less on this site, so no C5Z or Z06 or Zo6 or well...

these just showed up in last two days...

You looking for one?

[Troll]

not really. I'm a tire kicker. the C5Z is always on my radar, though. I got a '07 Miata that Wifey won't let me sell and I don't have the garage space for anything else. C5Z or C6 base is next on my list.

That yellow 03 is killer....

[u1arunit]

I like the yellow one as well!

It'd look good sitting next to this in the garage...

[thedak]

indeed

Low mileage ones like the ones you posted have always been prices like that from what I recall. I practically gave my 100k+ mile car away.

[Terminated]

They were in the $18-21k range when I was looking for my Cobra in 2011. Terminator Cobras are going back up too, I wonder if it's since the new generation of each respective model is out?!?

[Silverhatch]

Normally that pushes the price down.

Normally that pushes the price down.

There has always been the fluctuation in prices as the new models come out. It depends on if people like the new models and how much they are compared to the old ones. The Terminator has been particularly weird in this regard due to so much power being available on the cheap.

z06 prices usually go up in the summer, they drop way down in the winter.

low miles ones are always expensive though.

[Troll]

I wonder if it's since the new generation of each respective model is out?!? AND THEY COST ~$80k FOR A Z06 AND ~$67k FOR A GT500

i'm guessing this is where you were headed with this? yeah, so all of a sudden, your 12 year old Z06 or Terminator should be worth, at least, 30K right? it's not horrible logic.

[JeffreyCole]

With that logic, my 96 GT should be worth at least 8K..

A new GT is 32K!

Sadly they are worth what people are willing to pay. The market(people) drive the prices.

Thankfully no one wants Rangers..........or Fieros.

Maybe so but watch out for the goat collectors!!

You should see some of the crazy mofos on SVTPerformance trying to ask $30k for 04 Comp Orange terminators. Almost makes me want to list mine at $20k and walk away in the black 4 years later. I hoped it would remain as an investment if I ever needed to get out of it, and it's held true to this point.

That black FRC is owned by one of the original hybridynamics guys Eric. I've seen that car in person. It is pretty nice.
