2017 Ford GT - in Gulf livery!

[13COBRA]

wow, you're a financial genius. rare ≠ desirable/valuable

LOL

How many 0 option Ford GT's have you seen? I'd be very few. A 0 option car with 1000 miles sells for the same as a 4 option with 1000 miles...meaning you got $15-20k more out of your money.

Apart from the 0 option cars, the stripe deletes are the next rarest. White, yellow and tungsten all come to mind being the rarest stripe delete cars.

do you not understand that you need to have potential buyers that actually WANT these rare cars for them to be more valuable than the higher production cars? yea, i'd SO rather have a zero option ford GT than an optioned up FGT... NOT.

I want every bell and whistle because I don't buy a car with plans on selling it. I buy a car with plans on enjoying it.

There are people that want them and pay up for them.

For example.

This is a stripe delete car, only 25 like it...13 optioned the same.

Here's a Heritage...when it was new, it was NOT the most desirable car...now with the rarity and it growing on people, it's worth the most, by far.

I just looked online for 20 minutes you CAN'T find a no option car for sale or listed any where. There were only a few produced and they hold premium now.

[Sapperstang]

I don't see how any of your ebay posts are relavent. Here is the most popular color combo for 05, with all options, and low miles asking 270k and far more 'watchers' than the ones you posted. Ebay is a terrible way to compare prices, but I just don't see anyone desiring/paying more for no option cars. If anything, I'd like to have a car with cast wheels since they were rare, but paint combinations (including stripes/caliper options) and the sound system option is simply a matter of what people like seeing, not how rare it is. Hence, popular colors going for just as much.

This isn't a 60's muscle car where no options is worth a million bucks nowadays.

first, what you posted there quite literally means NOTHING, because none of those cars have sold. if they don't sell, guess what that means? no one wants them.
and, 2, you're full of shit about the heritage GT's - they were UNQUESTIONABLY one of the most wanted iterations of the ford GT. you do know that the heritage GTs had the highest dealer mark up of any other paint or option combo, right? there is a reason for that, dealers don't mark up cars that people DON'T want...

Kind of like a CO Cobra. No one must haven wanted that color initially because so few were made. Now a CO Cobra can bring several thousand more than the same car in a different color.

First off, don't put words in my mouth. I said the no options cars BRING THE SAME MONEY as the fully optioned ones. Therefore, the no option cars had a higher ROI.

If you'd like some math....say you buy a car for $10 and sell it for $15. You made $5 dollars. Your friend bought a car at the same time that had more options for $12 and then he sold it for $15 and made $3.

Which car held (made) it's money?

Full of shit? Really? I know two people that bought Heritage GT's for thousands under MSRP; one is still currently on MSO and worth twice as much as he paid. The Heritage GT's were NOT the most sought after Ford GT.

Exactly.


I had a 2013 GT500 performance white/red stripes...they only made 35 with that color combination. I sold it to another dealer for $3500 over MSRP because it was the only one out there. No it was not the most popular, no it wouldn't be one I would want to keep because of the colors, but the rarity of it demanded a premium.

 

[Ry_Trapp0]

i didn't say they were the most sought after, i said one of the most sought after. that's fine and dandy that your friends bought them under MSRP - i could find at least one of every single color that sold under MSRP.
so far you haven't come anywhere close to backing up your theory.

Are you serious?

A 2005/06 with no options, OBVIOUSLY, had a lower MSRP than the 4 optioned cars, right?

Now, look at today's market. Is there still a $20k difference in price over the 4 optioned and the no option cars? No.
