Charger Prices

[Iron Chef]

Wneh I bought my 3rd Gen Super Bee a few years ago, I paid $21K which I thought was a fair price for what it was and the condition it was in.  Now, when I bought my '70 Challenger R/T I paid $65K.  I still think I did well on that one because it was a truly rust-free California car (spent its entire life in the high-desert above LA in a garage), numbers matching, original body panels that were never hit, and loaded with a 440 Magnum, A/C, PS, PB, PW, light monitoring, etc.

It's all about what kind of car it is, how it's equipped and the condition it's in.  And then there's how badly someone wants it.

It all comes down to weather you feel good about the deal.

After coughing up 65k, I'd feel under the weather.

I didn't cough up anything, nor did I feel badly about it.  There wasn't a second of buyer's remorse.  I've been buying and selling collector cars for many years and after doing some homework, it was the right deal for me.  To this point, I've been made two cash offers for more than I paid for the Challenger, so I must have been right.

If one can't afford to make a purchase, they shouldn't.  Unfortunately, that's not how a lot of people do things and they overextend themselves, leading to them feeling as though they made a mistake.

I'm going to clarify my statement in case you got rubbed the wrong way.  My statement was more of a joke at the previous statement than anything that you posted.  Please notice the word weather.  It was supposed to read whether.  It was a just a joke.  Sorry if I ruffled some feathers.  But, your 110% correct on your statement.

I agree, and even though I could afford the car, I have had buyers remource in the past, but much more often have suffered sellers regret.  I love many different mopars and have found it is much easier to make a purchase my own, than let go of the cars I have done the way I wanted.

It is a buyers market still but prices are going up.   Five years from now (if the market goes back) we'll be wishing we could buy a nice car for $32k.  I remember several years ago when it peaked before the crash cars were going for crazy money.   You couldn't find a nice running driving car for under $25k that didn't need work.   

I bought my 69 r/t restoration project in 2006. Prices were trough the roof compared to these of today. I could easily have bought a good driver maybe no r/t but anyway... If prices go back to that level i can only advise people to buy now.

Nope...didn't take it the wrong way.  I was just expanding on the fact that I felt I made a solid purchase.  This doesn't happen all the time.  No worries.
