    I am so glad I bought a 4C at the right time. Brand new it retailed for msrp over 80 grand I am convinced they will all sky rocket in value in the next 10 years it will be sticker shock as they will all double in value and keep climbing they will never make such cars again and its also a future classic.

    Bought one right after I saw your first video. One year after, I got a serious offer for 10k above the price I paid.
    Of course I didn’t sell it, and I won’t ever sell it. This is a car money can’t buy.

      I bought the first 4C in the state of Oregon...got it in Washington.
      Ive done a ton of things to it...little, nice improvements...with more to go.
      My 4C is in the desert, here in Cal, but registered in OR. I spend summers in Or, Salem and Portland. Ive owned Alfas continuously for
      Over fifty years, and started an Alfa specialty Alfacure shop many years back.
      Another rather rare car I have owned for some twentyfive years is a Supercharged MR2 SC, some 600 were produced in 89. I will be selling it sometime soon, as Imm getting older-74, and someone will get a pretty nice machine as Ive gone and completely rebuilt the motor, to a rather nice
      State. BTW, do you know what a real price for it would be ??? I want it to go to someone who will really enjoy it. Best, WmRD Bill Daemke

Watch the auctions and online sales is the best option. Would love to have it in my stable. Fond memories of looping one off the track at PIR years ago. I just had to find its traction limit... And I did find it, quickly

    I just purchased a 2020 spider, medium spec, for a slight discount to MSRP. Big discounts NLA. Seems like prices are slightly up and stable to rising, hard to say what happens with pandemic and economy but think with 4c production ending scarcity will help value. I did see not many used cars available and the dealer configuration shows about 13 new cars within 250 miles from NYC. No data analysis but seems to be directionally correct with your great analysis. Gotta get through the bump in both value and depreciation rate of the last new cars being sold.
    Was looking at a 2017 spider that got traded, 20k miles, to a Porsche dealership for $44,500 and then listed at 49,900. It sold quickly, price unknown.
    Would love to see gtv6 analysis but likely not too many good data points.

  • @vomErsten

    The lack of used 4Cs for sale is a recent phenomenon; I was looking at these in 2019 and there was a glut of them on Autotrader at the time, with prices hovering between $45k to $55k for coupes. While they might already be near the bottom of their predicted depreciation curve, I expect them to stay there for some time to come given how useless they are for general transportation duties relative to direct competitors like the Cayman and TT and an expectation for more discretion in spending in the near term.

      My comment is the only one that does make sense. “If people wanted the car, Fiat would still be making them.” They stated cancellation due to lack of sales. That’s how it works.
      I have no problem if they became highly desirable it’s simply my opinion that they won’t. Maybe someday more people will value the great fun a 4C can provide, but today they don’t. Looks like you boys are butthurt cuz you bought them hoping to make money.
      That’s why true enthusiasts buy cars to drive. My R8 and 458 GT get driven and I don’t care about miles or price when I sell them. I bought them for passion not price.
      I use this channel to learn market value for things I may purchase. Others seem to use this information to determine which car to buy and hope goes up in value. To each their own.
