[QUOTE]Originally posted by 04 S281: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by RED@7kVERT *8850GT*: [qb]you guess it's a nice car? Lol it's no non-supercharged S281, but I do what I can..... ......because we should all buy our vehicles from an investment standpoint....??? An enthusiast's vehicle at that.... I think demand plays into your logic as well, which you left out of the equation. Bottom line is. I'm done with mustangs. 4.6's to be exact. I've been throught the ringer, twice lol.... I can see myself owning another fox in the next few years. I've had roughly 9 mustangs, I've done my time lol and it's time for change is all, a much needed and welcome change! Haha [/qb][/QUOTE]Not really an investment stand point, but depreciation and resale can be an indicator to both demand (or lack therof) and build quality. You can look at, say, Honda VS Dai Woo... where as Honda has great resale value and Dai Woo does not... simply because Honda's are better built cars, AND AS SUCH, are in higher demand. This line of thought is my exact feeling towards GM products, especially the earlier Non-Corvette LSX powered cars... (Such as the Camaro/Trans Am twins, GTO, and first Gen CTS-V's) which seem like cheaply made cars with a great motor and trans stuffed in them. and the price hiked up. Not to say it isn't a great performing car... Just my opinion, in no way OTHER THAN HOREPOWER, AND REAR PASSANGER/TRUNK SPACE, can it be considered a step-up from a limited production SVT Cobra... a convertible, at that... Your Cobra was 1 of like 3,300... one of the lowest production years of any 99-04 New Edge Cobra's... and your color (if that was the original color) was 1 of 356... It's your car and your money... as long as you're happy, cool. I'm just saying I would've never ever ever got rid of a Cobra for a Cadillac... Unless the Cobra had serious problems or high mileage... I just hope you got a decent penny for the Cobra, and I hope the CTS-V has significantly less mileage than the Cobra did. Look, I'm not trying to be an ass, or a hater, or whatever... I just wouldn't have got that car over a Cobra. Maybe as a daily driver and keep the Cobra... but not as a replacement. Also not a big fan of sedans... Unless you have a growing family or shop at CostCo on a regular... Also, I can respect the being "done with Mustangs" and needing a change thing... I went thru the same thing before. But i couldn't stay away. 4 months of being a BMW owner, and i ran back! Anyway, I may be jumping to conclusions... you're in the 916, i'd love to check that thing out in person sometime...
