    Marauder value in 5 years?

    So, just an open question.

    Do you think marauders will increase in value in the next five years.

    They have "fallen" consistently in KBB and especially in NADA... (which we all know means only that we need rich cash buyers), but are Marauder's l;osiong true value against technology?

    Will Marauders increase in value as the a "family muscle car?"

    in 5 years I doubt it, they will only be a little over 15 years old at that point. In my mind you really won't know until the 25+ year mark, maybe not even till later. However, I'm one of those who does not think the Marauder will ever be a valuable collector's car.

    Marauders are like wives. You plan on keeping them forever. I married mine with the new motor , transmission and ported trillogy as well a ton Of other stuff. Stainless full exhaust widened wheels cobalt guages fan operated transmission and heat exchanger systems. So if you love it like me invest in the long haul and insure it for stated value to cover your butt and don't worry about kbb or nada values. My nada value is what 12000 or 13000 ? My insured value is 37000. Ill never sell it

    Nada and kbb aren't really a marauders best friend. I think the value to buyers will go up, but the book values will keep decreasing.

    In my opinion, Marauders are gaining a lot of popularity and publicity due to the internet. Specifically, Instagram. a Handful of popular instagram users have/had Marauders, I feel that more and more people are realizing what they are. Its certainly helping

    Somewhat agree...The Marauder still has a ways to go before she hits rock bottom. If the trend leans heavily toward smaller and smaller cars the value will drop fast and not recover. I'd base everything on the Impala of sorts. A 96 in cherry shape and low miles still commands a 5 digit price tag...I honestly do think they will have a higher value...I've seen a lowly Dodge Aspen with 16,000 have a $10,000 price on it so why not a Marauder with the same miles in 10-15 years not command the same.

    I don't think there were enough MMs produced to have the prices drop that dramatically. As we lose more and more cars every year, They will be harder to find. I wouldn't be surprised to see them at least hold their value as time goes on.

    I don't think that they will increase in value any time soon; but I believe we are already seeing a slowdown in the depreciation rate. The chart below is an estimate of depreciation that dates back to the early days. According to the chart, a 2003 MM would be $8,675 (FY14) and a 2004 MM would be about $9,850 (FY14).

    We are already seeing these cars routinely selling for $2000 to $4000 higher than those numbers for low mileage, well maintained MMs. Some have commanded even higher prices for those who hold out.

    MMs will probably continue to depreciate; but at a much slower rate than expected. Will it be $4-5K less .... who knows?

    Would I sell mine for $10K right now? Definitely NOT --- I'm not done having fun with it yet. A buyer would have to make it worth my while to take my MM and sweeten the pot considerably.

    Do you mean to say "it takes precedence"?
