Okay, so point well made and I'll concede. Lowest price isn't always going to be a good indicator. For the sake of the argument, what range is good to use then? Lowest 25-50%? Median? Specific regional location? I mean there are so many variable to consider, which one do you want to use?
Here's a personal example, that white Boss I had originally linked in is being sold one hour from my house. So I can walk out today and certainly buy that car for less than $30k. I can tell you from personal experience that you cannot buy a used 1LE for under $40k within a 200 mile radius of me. It's the exact reason I bought new. Does that mean they're all worth over $40k used now? Absolutely not, I get that, and I won't use that argument. That's why all I'm doing here is looking at nationwide examples to compare both cars, and the factual numbers show that your claim of a 2013 Boss commanding the same prices as a used 2017 1LE is fallacy. And I will admit that the lowest $36,500 1LE that's currently listed on Autotrader, is definitely not the lowest price I've seen these cars go for. I've seen postings of $35,000 and $33,500 even for clean cars and owners who are looking to dump them asap. But the same thing happens anywhere in the automotive world. I'm sure someone lucked out and bought a Boss way below the value because the original owner needed to sell it asap, happens all the time.
That link btw, rebuilt title.
