110% agree. These will be in the $80k range eventually. This car is realistically $95k right now. $40k markup when it was new? LOL. Driven 425 miles? Hahaha. You paid all this and what? It just sat? You looked at it in your garage? How'd that work out for you?
Yeah, $80k range. By that I mean a price with an $8X,XXX on it. I've heard from more than one person trade-ins on CFTPs are in the 80s right now. Prices are not going up, rather the froth from all of the extra money printed over the past 3 years is going away. It's not an indictment of the car, rather what's going on around us. People were trying to get rid of GTs in 09 and 10 for stupid money, like low 100s. It's hard to comprehend now because they're so coveted today, but it was (and IMO still is) one of the most awesome things Ford has ever made in any era, let alone the one it existed in. We are still early in this cycle...a CFTP with 10k miles doesn't sound out of line at $85k. If this thing fails to break $100k with 400 miles on it, then what's one worth that has 10k? 15k? I've already seen CFTPs out there with 25k on them.
True, 80% of the country is going into winter, but many big collector auctions occur in the winter. These seem to be a good indicator of the collector market in general. Besides, if you're one of these people who buys a car like this, drives it 400 miles over a 2 year period (like this CFTP), then I don't see why it matters when you buy it.
I've turned up goose eggs looking for an adequate house to buy. Buyers and sellers are still acting crazy. I'm giving the search until mid/late January and then I'll start making room for a base car if I can find one in the 70s somewhere. I figure if I cannot find something by then I'll be stuck living here for another year, so might as well. This is pretty much why I've started watching prices. I'm good with a 5-10k mile car. Honestly I'd prefer the house right now. We got shut down on a 2 acre home with a beautiful 30 x 50 garage a few weeks back by some retired couple with an RV who outbid us and had to have it LOL.
The one that sold yesterday jumped about $10k (from 70 to 80) in roughly 10 minutes. It'll be in the 90s for sure unless people aren't paying attention since they're busy with the holiday.
Looks like with ADM some person paid $137,550 + sales tax. To look at it. In his garage. For a couple of months. 🤡 🌎
It was a fair price. Judging by other sales (and the no sales) on there in the past, this is right in line with the base car we just saw the other day. I think in a year even this will be considered high. $40k ADM disappeared just like that - poof. The last two BaT sales brought the lowest price yet for their type, and both met reserve. There's a BaT tax IMO, how much that is, I dunno. But if I can buy a flawless 400 or 1,600 mile example off BaT of all places, tens of thousands cheaper than from a local lot on a 10k mile car, that's pretty telling. Yep, they'll be in the 80s soon.
During the past year/year and a half, BaT was the place to go if you wanted top dollar for your car. Lots of silly bidding. The GT500 and Ram TRX market are two I think have been seriously overvalued. There was an article somewhere yesterday about the price of G-Wagons taking a hard dive, and then another video I watched about C8 prices starting to head downward. Some sellers might be taking delivery of a Z06 but that number is probably small in relation to overall C8 production, even though it was restrained in 20 and 21.

Yes and no. If your only choice are dealerships, they still haven't gotten the message. They will. If you want to fight over something on BaT yeah maybe. Don't see too many for sale via private sellers around me.
