My dealer told the same, CGT prices are going up! I think the prices are really low now when you compare it with the price of a new 458 that will drop much for sure meanwhile CGT only increases in value! Im glad i got mine in time

Does it really matter? I have never found anyone who wanted one with the means to acquire one not buy one - and care much about depreciation - these are ALL depreciating assets - if you buy one thinking they won't go down in price, I suspect that is poor judgement (and not generally consistent with someone who has the means to acquire one - let alone drive one).
Just saying....

In the meantime, as a C-GT owner and a automotive enthusiast it's still interesting to watch how the market flucuates and what folks think. I find it certainly makes for good conversation that seems to bring out all sorts of opinions.

Personally I like to feel like I am getting a good value even with an expensive luxury item such as this. I don't think it ever feels nice to know you are going to lose real money on a purchase, it somehow taints the experience. I'm certainly not banking on appreciation and its not going to change my lifestyle if I lose another 30%+ on the car over the next few years, but there is a psychological benefit to feeling like you are getting value when you get into something like this.

I think overall values have been and will continue to be very stable. I think the biggest swing factors in CGT prices is simply if your are buying or selling at wholesale vs retail as there is always a big spread as dealers dont love to buy them for inventory. While I dont think CGT prices just "went up overnight" because of the 918 I do think that over time CGT will continue to hold up quite well because they priced the 918 so high. I do think that some people will end up buying a CGT for 350k who might of instead bought a 918 if it was priced 500k or less, but to answer the original question of the post no I dont think CGT prices are different today vs 3 weeks ago.

And now you absolutely must tell me who the sweetie is in your avatar. And the number too if possible.
