Has the GS Spyder value gone up or am I mistaken?

[Smylinacha]

Was looking on NADA and they are putting an '08 Spyder GS SM5 (with ABS breaks and performance muffler - all I can check for the check boxes for it) - low end it is 11,195, high end is 13,922. A while back I checked and I swear those numbers were lower. ?

When Debbie checked last week, I thought she found $12,500 for private sale and $9,000 for trade in. :dontknow:

I think it was 10,500 in March of '09. I remember that because I bought my '08 the day after Thanksgiving and no reference was available and had to guess on the trade-in value. It's about normal that it drops about a thou per year after the initial depreciation. Should level off a bit in a few years.

NADA is always on the high side. That's why all the assessors and car dealers uses it to value our car and tax us on it. I think KBB is more realistic when it comes to the actual value. Some times I use both numbers and take the average.

When I was talking to my insurance company last month about my Spyder catching on fire the insurance guy had told me that had it been totaled, they would've paid me $13,900. I have an 08 GS.

Value?

I think it depemds om the state and the time of year. We had a car dealer in town that would make a copy of the Blue Book price for California(in small print) and put in the window of the unit. When I checked for ILL. his price was always $2-3 thousand higher.
Just my experience.
