Not Bike Thoughts on Last of the Breed

[Yammer Dan]

I bought a Last of the breed Pontiac early this year.

 

4 door G6 pretty well equipped. What is this thing going to do. Will it hold value pretty well or bottom drop out because they aren't around any more. I thought it would hold pretty well. Some dumba** tried to tell me yesterday it is worthless because they don't make them any more. I couldn't get Blue book to work this morning.Pretty sure its not worthless.

Use the NADA to find car values.

Those are nice cars and have good quality and value. Will the value hold up as if they were still making them? Maybe not, but does it really matter much to you? Are you planning on selling in the near future? If not, just enjoy it and run it into the ground like I do my vehicles as I tend to keep them for a looong time.

I really don't think it matters if they still make them or not. I think it is just a matter of demand. If there are lots of people looking for them, it will drive the price up. If not, then price will go down. Also depends on condition, etc...

We just bought a new Buick Regal. Have a fairly long relationship with the dealership. The salesman said that when they quit making the Pontiacs, it wound up costing him 100+ deals per year. They are a GMC-Buick only dealership now, he said the Chevys are mostly picking up the Pontiac business. I always liked the Oldsmobiles and the Pontiacs, sad to see them (and Plymouth and DeSoto and Studebaker and Packard, etc. etc.) go. Those were the days, my friend! If you keep it long enough it may become a rare classic and become very valuable.

I went for a Buick Mel and got such a deal on the Pontiac I couldn't pass it up and Buick was really beyond my pocketbook at the time. Last time I was at the dealer he offered me a 07 Buick Regal even swap. It had 10k more than my 2010 and was loaded with leather. I had a hard time walking away. I really kind of had a thought that the G6 might hold its value because you can't get them anymore?? Maybe in a few years be worth as much as when new??

Hang on to it Dan, Someday it will be just like this 26 model Whippet, worth many times the amount paid.

Now theres a plan. park it in my new garage and by the time I get ready to retire it will be quite a nestegg. Just a few glitches to work out there!!!

I think the value will be equivalent to the Malibu for several years. But, with it being front wheel drive i wouldn't think it will increase in value. Being it replaced the Grand Am there's not much of a market for them anymore. A 6.0 or 6.2 G8 may increase in value.

Strip a few placards off of it and it's just the same cookie cutter GM V6 FWD car they've been building for a couple decades now. They just slap a different grill and hood emblems on them to make them different brands.

... doubt value will go up, but may decrease slowly.

 

Makes me sad again, remembering my 1968 Pont Bonnieville I let go in 2000 because my wife to become my X in another 11 months didn't like it. How stupid can a guy with initials JDT get? Guess I just proved it, huh. I must have been mentally sick!
