[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 14007136, member: 134833"] Well, it depends on what you use to value the car. If you use a generic value book/system that is designed to quickly depreciate volume produced new cars so that dealers can move brand new units right behind them not much. If I've said it a thousand times, there is absolutely no way a mass car valuation guide or auction can really determine the value of something so few were made of. You are a moron if you trade in your 13/14 Shelby, or any other limited produced car, based on a generic book or main stream auto auction that was designed to value and move used Fusions and Camrys, not limited production cars. The dealers and the value guides work hand in hand to quickly depreciate old stock to move new stock. There were only 10,570 of these cars and many are already gone. Us owners can control the market of these cars IF we sell or trade in our cars smartly. If most owners who want/have to sell make their buyers pay a premium for their rare car then the other cars not for sale will be worth a premium. Right now the dealers and their generic value guides have the upper hand because new MY14 units remain unsold. Once those new units are gone however, us owners will have the open hand. Unless the next Top Dog is just an absolute monster. The only thing that will drastically depreciate these cars is if the next gen Top Dog is an all around better model. While I do think the next gen Cobra/whatever will be a great car, I do not believe it will trump this one in a few key areas. I do know mine is worth twice what I paid for it. As it will not leave my hands for less than that. :beer: [/QUOTE]
