disclaimer;
what I say below, is not addressed to anyone specifically,
just a general statement
I've heard this BS trends & pricing BS, since being on the -www-
it ain't going anywhere, just a change in the market
it always adjusts some
like any hobby or trends, they change & fluctuate with economics sometimes
many of the cars are NOT bought by people with little to no savings or income
these are expensive hobbies
Yes there's a select section/segment of the market "buyers"
that thinks all the stuff was overpriced
It's worth what people are willing to pay...
there's is no basic price std.
IMVHFO the muscle car market & especially the "QUALITY BUILT"
(not some shade-tree lipstick on a pig)
Especially the resto-mods & pro-touring markets are booming & growing steadily
the bottom feeders/low priced market & borderline scrappers/total rebuild projects
or parts cars may be down or trending going down
IMVFHO
I disagree with most of the Doom & Gloom BS predictions
maybe a small part of the market (bottom feeders/project/parts cars)
Depends on what state you're in
& depends on what model of cars
you can't just throw a blanket over the whole genera/era
"I've told you they are dropping because so & so said so"
some more popular cars will retain "all their value or even rise"
some cars will maybe go done a little
IMO it will be just a temporary hit if it does
(the big auction houses/co.'s are NOT selling right now,
that fact may drive trends down some/slightly too, there's not a
one place to go & those all have a captured audience, to buy expensive cars
& IMO some people use them #'s or $'s to drive their statements of trends)
Like always, if they were popular to begin with
they will retain more values, sell for higher prices
unpopular or lesser cars won't, it's always been like that
when the market for popular cars goes up
then the 2nd teir or lesser/less liked/less popular cars follow some,
in pricing, mainly because the more popular cars are too expensive
& them lower budget buyers, want something still
(If that made any sense)
these BS "so-called" sale/sell or buyer trends by anyone
are just speculations PERIOD
It's never 100% correct, EVER
& IMVHFO it's usually started by those very people 'that want cheaper cars'
either they can't afford the top tier or more popular cars
or some other reasoning
