It was a very good question, but the answer really does not make any logical sense. This is simply a history problem. Just look at all prior gens and watch what their values did to get an idea of what is going to happen. The same thing has happened for all and remember the last Gen4's also had heavy discounts and look at their values now. Marketing, reviews, etc had nothing to do with it as it was never good.
If you kept the discussion to the facts, you would list the following:
1) more 2013 GenV's have sold than 2010 gen4's. actually, getting close to more Gen5's being sold than all of Gen4's.
2) vipers have never been marketed well or reviewed well
3) Gen 5's are a substantially better car than prior models.
4) Gen4's run for 60-85k, gen 3 run for 40-55k, gen 2 run for 30-45k, etc. Sure, special editions sometimes run hire and high mileage cars run lower, but it is the facts of the market.
To suggest Gen5's will run for less than Gen4's in the used market is crazy and the data even shows it to be true.
So, just do a quick history lesson on pricing and you will quickly find the best info for predicting the future. No Pink Elephant, just facts and history repeating itself.[/QUOTE
