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. |

Since I had my bout with Cancer 4 years ago I live by this quote,
"We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can fall in love in one day. ANYTHING can happen in JUST ONE DAY." 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 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.
