Only a few more months gentlemen!

[DerekStangGT]

The reasons I believe this are:
-winter always causes sports car prices to fall and four wheel drives to rise
-those New Edge cars ain't getting any newer
-there will be a lot of other options available to sports car enthusiasts
-the price of ga$

heres something compliment your list. a little birdie told me theres a bill in congress that bump the minimum EPA estimated MPG. more specifically, it would mandate every car manufacted in the US to be EPA rated at least 35 MPG.
doubtful it will pass, but i foresee lots of problems for muscle cars in the near future

To be mandatory on all vehicles produced by 2020. A long way off.

Except it's going to be progressive. They aren't gonna go from 24MPG to 35MPG in one year.

I beleive eveery 2 years or so there is a small bump. So by 2010 it might be 28MPG, then 30 by 2014, 32 by 2016 and then 35 in 2020.


I think technology can make it happen. The mustang does what now?? 27MPG highway?? I think some cylinder disabling tech might help that number a bit and it might force Ford to put the Mustang on a diet for once.


Also, isn't that 35MPG number the CAFE number and not the number for each individual vehicle?? I have a hard time seeing a Hummer or any SUV conforming to 35MPG.

Maybe we'll see a turbo 4-banger Mustang again

900 HP and 1.76 gears will do the trick!!

More like Toyota and Honda...


Either way, I don't see 03/04 Terminators dropping a WHOLE lot til ~ 2009. I say they'll drop slightly, but they won't be very affordable til the 09 era. It's usually about 5 years before you see the spike in devaluation of a vehicle. Plus the fact that they're a sort of collectors item, I don't see that big of a drop this year.


I only hope I'm right because I can't afford one for another 2-3 years anyways...

"Only a few more months gentlemen!"

reading comprehension is your friend. dont ignore him.

 

[Ordie]

[AvalancheSVT]

it happens. i just can't wait till i can buy the flavor of mustang i actually want.

Same here, I really wanted a Mach or Terminator but couldn't afford another 5-6K at the time. I probably won't be able to get one this year but perhaps in another year......
