Charger prices

[jefferson]

Jee is it just me. Or have charger prices just gone up again?
I cant find anything decent under 60 to 100k.
And now even 60 seems to be buying a car needing work

Wtf. 
Been checking ebay . Craiglist and fb.

The more speculative types may be trying to get out of the market right now, and wanting top dollar.

Man you aren't kidding on the prices. I've been looking for one and it's definitely not a buyers market right now. It's hard to fathom spending as much on a 50 year old car that you could buy a small home for.

Interesting. I would have expected actual sales prices to have come down a bit over the last 3 months. That may still be the case since we usually don't know what stuff has sold for.

If you notice most Chargers for sale are by dealers, which is why asking is high.  There are very few private owned cars for sale.  I have been looking at this market for years now and this is the worst time I have ever seen for buying.  The idea that Charger prices would be better deals right now is false for a number of reasons.

[jefferson]

I was looking all last night online.searching more so for drivers
Cheapest i could find was 50k for a 68 on craiglist.  Then went 60 to 70k and then over 100k.
30k isnt even getting anything decent anymore lol.
Yea seems a lot of chargers being sold thru dealers. 
Prices are steep as.
Spewing i missed the opportunity last year to buy a 69 driver in another state from me for 55k AUD. works out about 38 to 40k USD.
They seem almost double that now.

Economic conditions for the poor/middle Americans haven't really even hit bottom yet.  There may be more deals in several more months.  

The average owner of a classic Charger doesn't work at a low-level job.  But they may have family who are affected by the mess.  

[RiverRaider]

More buyers than sellers right now with the lack of car shows and swap meets, just less cars are on the market than normal.
There are a few deals here and there but most prices this spring/summer that I have seen are up.

Crazy stuff.
What would this be worth to a buyer?
1970 with fresh trunk floor. 383 is getting rebuilt. Interior is trashed, needs body and paint too. In 2 months this will be a running and driving complete car.
I plan to keep it but what would one have to pay to buy it? Is it a $15000 car ??

[Kern Dog]

Completely solid underbody, rust around rear window has been repaired.
As of now, I have $7000 in it including the purchase price. I'll need another $1500 to $2000 to get it running so I'm still under $10,000.

[70B5Cuda]

If it runs and drives I'd say $15-17k.

[Kern Dog]

That is bonkers.  I do believe it though, thanks.

Same here...but there's a big difference in asking and what's being sold

[stripedelete]

By the time it's over, we will have printed about $6 trillion.   In 3-5 years we are not going to know what anything is worth.   
Note:  This a macroeconomic observation (or maybe microeconomic - I didn't do well in either) not a political statement.

I would agree $15-17 is about right.  I have seen two local cars go for 3500 and 5000 this spring that needed sliders and wheel bars to load them.
For you guys that are not in the rust belt wheel bars bolt to the lug studs or weld to the wheels to keep that car from pulling apart when being moved and
sliders are basically ski for the stuck wheels.

[chargermick]

Two months ago I saw a 69 with rust from front to rear and side to side for $13,000. I thought he was fishing for idiot. Maybe I was wrong?

[darbgnik]

Yup on the high side of that range. Especially with no primer on it, so you can see what you're buying.

[Kern Dog]

I'm not going to spray primer on it. Nope. I'm going to get it running and reliable and drive it ratty for awhile. When I feel like it, I'll jump in with both feet, pull the car apart and do the body and paint.

I have not been watching prices at all over last 4 years, but Hagerty told me, sight unseen, a running and driving road worthy, 1969 model year,Charger is valued at $45,000.
I understand that's their agreed value coverage, not what they selling for.
But that's what they valued mine at when I put insurance on in April.
Mine is just a regular 69 Charger.(#'s 383 4bbl, auto, PS/PB/A/C)
I thought mine was worth $25-30K.(not that I would sell it for that,LOL)
They also told me to have it revaluated, when I finish the work I am doing.
After reading these posts, I started to try and find some decent cars, and they do seem to be CRAZY.
Very glad I got mine when I did, LOL!!!

That is exactly what they told me after I started driving this spring
I only had $25000 on my car as I have a lot less than that invested in it but was thinking on bumping it up to $30 000
I got my letter from Hagerty saying mine should be worth $43500 so I bumped it up to that

I keep watching prices on stuff just to see if i ever sold it or lost it what it would cost to replace in the same shape and condition
I always get asked " Is it for sale ? " or " How much for your Charger ?"
Used to think $30 000 would be my answer but now think $40 000 for me to find another to get it this far along

[Bad B-rad]

Is that real???
That car sold for $25,000 BUCKS???
I am not trying to be funny, but are there even $20,000 worth of parts there?
I understand they do not make 1969 Chargers anymore, but seller said frame is in terrible shape.
Anyone who has restored or repaired cars before, will tell you, sometimes its not what you see, its the stuff you cant see, that will kill you.
Once you cut rusted panels off, VERY RARELY do you find gold hidden beneath. Most of the time rusted out panels are attached to rusted out metal behind that!!!!

[Bad B-rad]

70Sublime, so I guess we are lucky!!
My car has crash damage to driver 1/4(smashed in the early70's) but no rust.
They told be once I repair the 1/4, I must up the value.

I am blown away about that $25,000. sale of that car.

[Rolling_Thunder]

Crazy stuff.
What would this be worth to a buyer?

I'd give you $15K for that -

Down here in socal projects run $15-30K

[70gtx440dana]

OMG....$25K for the Flordia rust bucket. That is insane.
