FYI: I picked this info up from another site. I can get the thing to line up with the proper spaces in the "edit" function but I they seem to get removed when I hit save.

Here's some interesting information:

Taxes & Fees $5,352 $78 $78 $78 $78 $5,664
Fuel $1,972 $2,031 $2,092 $2,155 $2,220 $10,470
Maintenance $255 $635 $460 $1,314 $2,053 $4,717

That is pretty interesting. How many miles a year do those number take in account. I know it probably varies a lot from person to person on how much they drive the car a year. I would think it would make a be difference between a person who has the car as a DD compared to a "toy".

OK XLR I FL, You had no line for speeding tickets from helicopters here.
If I had to figure this all out, I think I would sell the V first.
No more monitering for you

Standby aka Bob

It is interesting that the depreciation seems to "level out" over years 2-4. So if you were a long time owner you would have just about the same depreciation (percentage wise) as the normal XLR owners.

I will be curious to see what the actual value/prices are at 5 years and above.

What a value if its low mileage and the styling doesn't change radically. A 5 year old XLR for maybe 30k.

Think we should buy up a bunch of them in 5 years?

I agree!!!! It's the same with the SSR trucks. I think the last year of that truck will be a REAL FIND with the big motor in it. In about 3 years.

I would like to extend the bed some more so it is a little longer than the El Camino. Then you could really haul some stuff. A nice set of FOOSE Wheels would do good too!!!

Regards
