Will AV release do much to the price of, say an EB or ED? - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

Just wondering whether I should bother with the 'waiting till the new model is released' thing, as I noticed it didn't do a great deal to car prices when the AU was released; the change seemed far more gradual than I expected originally.

So yeah, will there be a drop? Would I be dreaming to think I could get a good condition, low kilometre EBII for $5k, for example? I see a couple for that price now, but they're either ex-taxis or they've seen over 200,000kms worth of action.

I'd say that Barra would do 5/8ths of stuff all to the price of an EB-ED..

I think it willonly affect the priced of AU's and to a limited extent EL's, the models released before that won't really be affected much IMO

and I'll endorse that. Won't do much (good) for the resale of AU though.

*sigh* It's more or less as I thought :(

Not to EB/ED, no - it would mostly affect AU, which has been affected itself by each series release.

Hopefully the price of AU3 T Series will come down to around $35-40k.

I will then be calling my bank manager!!

I don't think the release of a new model will affect EB-D prices I think it's just age that does it. I was offered only $5K trade for my EBII on a $20K EL XR6 and I originally paid just a few thou short of that about 4 years ago. I won't be buying the XR6.
