I'm in the process of selling my C5Z and have been considering picking up a 02-03 S2K as a fun car. For those of you who know the market do you see a significant fluctuation in selling prices based on season? I've got a DD so I'm not in a hurry and if I'd benefit from waiting until the fall or winter I'd be willing to.

They're not like motorcycles and have a consistent value. From what I've seen there is not much fluctuation.

The prices drop in fall - people don't want rwd sports cars or convertibles come snow and cold seasons.

Yes, prices change drastically throughout the year depending on location.

depending on location........being the key part of that statement

don't expect a deal unless you are somewhere that sees a fair amount of bad weather in the winter

I'm in Alabama so no snow to speak of.

I'm only going to be looking at spending maybe $15K max. Hopefully closer to $12K so if there is a decent swing in the price that could be the difference between a medium mileage well maintained car to a ragged out high mileage car.

I usually buy my bikes in September or October and save huge over spring prices.

I don't expect that cars will swing that much but I figured they would a little.


Corvette prices are down right now just because of the economy.

I would be checking out michigan, minnesota, NY, vermont ETC ETC ETC for a deal.

It would be a good opportunity to get to know your new car driving back to Alabama

no snow in california so it stays pretty much the same when the seasons change. the difference in price is apparent at the end of the month and specially at the end of the year when every car counts trying to get to the quota... at least this is my experience

Josh,
Are you also on 1000rr.net? I'm just wondering.
