Expected change in value of 5th gens when 6th gen comes out - Page 10 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

TXLS3 · 11-20-2014, 03:41 PM

I just don't see the v8 plummeting much lower for now. You can get a used 5th gen ss for 22k. Which is pretty cheap for that type of performance. What are the price points for new 6th gens 40+?? More than likely.

I can see the v6 going at 14-15k but I think the v8 will still cost around 20k for the next 2 years.

only thing that may cause the V8 Camaro's to hold value a lot better then expected could be CAFE standards. If auto makers cant squeeze or the cost to squeeze enough fuel mileage out these cars cause the price of new ones to skyrocket. The will have to either pay the fines with the Higher price charged selling them or raise prices higher so that they sell fewer to get fewer fines and also have the money to pay fines for the ones sold or They figure out how to get 35-40 MPG out of a V8 sports car but it cost a lot and the raise prices accordingly. Also maybe they can make enough cars that get amazing MPG to counter our V8's and meet the fleet avg's and prices only go up marginally above cost of living rates.

I just have a feeling the affordable V8 muscle car era is coming to a close. I think the cars that will fill that space in the future are mini versions of the current hyper-cars. Powered by 4 cylinder turbos with added electric drives that will boast economy around town but for 10-15 seconds add bursts of added power to make them great quarter mile cars, and maybe 2-3 burst per lap on a track.

Wow that was way of track but my thought was if that's where we go I could see V8's holding better value do to us crazy guys who love our V8 muscle sound will hold on to them making them hard to get in low mileage good condition.

So live every day to its fullest, because it may be your ONE DAY.

Yea, even around here in California every V8 that I see for sale under 20,000 has a salvage title. Which surprises me because it's so many that it makes me think that I'm the only one with a Camaro from the dealer.

Considering that thing will spank a Camaro SS pretty badly and hold its value better, I don't think you'll hurt its feelings much.

I couldn't bring myself to buy a Ford, but there's no doubting that's one hell of a car.

Why do you think that it will hold it's value better?

Just because it is a special edition. A Roush car is going to hold its value better than a typical Mustang GT. I would expect an SLP Camaro to hold its value better than a typical Camaro because of its rarity as well.

I don't really understand the Camaro vs Mustang hatred. A nice car is a nice car. I own a Camaro. I don't know if I'd buy a Mustang because they aren't really my thing and I've only owned GM cars, so I have that solidarity there. But a nice car is a nice car. There are aspects of the Mustang that outperform the Camaro and vice versa. I think GM gives the better value and I like the Camaro's style better overall, but to not admit that the Mustang is also a very good value and a pretty badass car...I think it's kind of childish

I would certainly take that Roush Stage 2 Mustang over a base model SS. But I can't say I wouldn't trade it in for a done-up 2SS/RS and bank the extra cash.

I would expect a Camaro to actually hold its value a little better than a Mustang. Historically they have because Mustangs were a dime a dozen, but now that the Camaro outsells the Mustang it could change. Honestly the value will probably depreciate about the same on either car since they are in the same class and both domestic.

If I have to go by looks I wouldn't take the Roush stage 2 mustang over a SS! Heck , i bought my 2013 BRM V6 Camaro over a V8 2013-14 mustang! I like the 13-14 mustangs too! Just not against a 2010 -13 Camaro!

Wasn't they always in the same class and both domestic? But I do see alot more mustang's go for more in the mecum auction . But I guess it really depends what year the car is and options!
But the Camaro sold for the highest vs the mustang .
