Interesting that 2009 models seem significantly pricier than the other years. I'm assuming that it's the coupes that are driving that.any graph for coupe-only pricing ?
The coupes are included in the 2009 curve and the suggestion was that they are responsible for raising that curve a bit higher - the distance between the other years is quite consistent while the difference between 2008 and 2009 is greater.I must be going blind, I don't anywhere that the coupe/na/gxp is displayed on either graph.
I see, thanks. If it's the coupes, I suppose one could take the % of coupes sold and their higher costs and see if that jives. I'd guess it's a combination of things including folks wanting the "youngest ones available" on the used market since Pontiac was shut down.The coupes are included in the 2009 curve and the suggestion was that they are responsible for raising that curve a bit higher - the distance between the other years is quite consistent while the difference between 2008 and 2009 is greater.
I doubt anyone has accurate info on coupe sales as the guys selling the cars often seem to think that their converts are coupes when they write the ads.
Yup. To expect anything else is wishful thinking. I wonder what percentage of all cars ever appreciate and when the turn around happens. On a lot of 1950s and early 1960s cars it happened in the 1990s. Before that, things like XKEs and many race cars like McLarens were just old depreciating cars.Small update ...

URL of the source is in the first post. I do not know where / how they get their data.Who produces these graphs, NADA, Kelly? snip ...
