So much for resale of the Solstice
Been following Sols and GXPs at auction over the past several months. Also, listings in ebay, autotrader and cars.com. Really just out of curiosity, since my GXP is not up for sale.
2008 Solstice GXP on the lot at a local used car dealership, independent, and high end. He has this low mileage, '08, loaded, auto trans, 1200 or so miles, for $26K. That is no typo. For all of the prognosticators who claim they have lost only so much on their 06 and 07 base and GXPs, I suggest visiting used car lots or dealers with used inventory of these and see how quickly they sell, at what price, and how much off of the original MSRP. MSRP on this one would have been over $32K, and unless the original owner got a smoking deal, or new someone at GM/Pontiac, then the asking price, assuming the used car dealer wants to make some profit----then the asking price suggest a $7K or so depreciation from MSRP. So much for resale values based upon all these other non-reality based publications. The real world again proves quite different.
