Prices creeping upward?

[dcarrb]

Of the six SVXs within 300 miles of me on Autotrader, one '92 at 70,000 miles is listed for $9000 (claret with backward rims), another '92 with no photo and 94,000 miles is tagged at $6500. There's a '97 with 80k asking eleven-four.

Then there's the usual Bondo & primer special at $1200...

Maybe values have bottomed-out and are on the upswing?

Interesting observation, but I fear it to be a "last man standing" kind of thing with the few remaining low-mileage cars bringing higher prices. Simple law of supply and demand. Take Mattingly's car for instance, 28K miles, a '96 model and in pristine condition. Fifteen-grand is lots of money for an SVX, but tell me where you are going to find one in that condition at any price? Cars like the SVX tend to have a small cult following and as time (and miles) go by, they tend to separate into two distinct price groups, dirt cheap and sky high, with few between. I haven't looked lately, but somewhere out there is a high priced pristine Yugo just waiting for some Yugo-groupie to come along with the cash. I hope you are right and that prices do rise to reflect the quality and unique nature of the SVX, that combination of factors we call VALUE.

I'm told there was a 94 in the local paper for $2400

And there won't really be a collectors market until we are down to the last 15 -20 cars...
