This morning there are 599 unsold Prowlers. Many of these remaining cars have miles on them and some aren't for sale. We try to keep a list of the remaining cars by color and location. If anyone is looking for a particular color...contact CJ.

Wow....That's not many left. It will be interesting to see what the value of them will do when all the new ones are gone.

Although 599 is not a huge number in terms of how many cars are sold in the U S, it seems that very few new Prowlers have been sold recently. I wonder how many of the dealers REALLY are trying to sell their Prowlers? On the otherhand, there have been more than one car advertised in the classifieds that have had a hard time selling.

I am just glad we have ours!

Gary, don't bet the farm that they are going to go up when these are gone. If anything, I suspect the prices will still be in a downward trend for the next few years.

Don't beleive me? Then why do dealers still have 600 new ones? Why haven't speculators bought them all up to make a profit? Why are dealers seriously lowering prices to move them?

None of that fits with a car that is going to go up in value on the day the last one is sold.

I recently posted that a dealer has a brand new Black-Tie (about one of the rarest Prowlers made) with only 9 miles on the OD and an asking price of only $35K. This is a new car that has never been titled. To date, there are no takers on it.

I can explain why 3 of them aren't sold yet........a dealer in my home town has 3 setting in a storage building on the car lot. He want's $55,000.00 each, there not floorplaned, so he doesn't care if they sell today or next year. Maybe you could call him a speculator, or call him crazy, who knows.

Like Marty, doesn't really matter what it's worth down the road, I have mine, and drive it every chance I get!

I suspect he was one of the bums that was originally asking $20-50K over sticker (and getting it) and now that reality has kicked in, he can't understand it.

It may be worth $55K again but, not for a long time.

I don't think so, one was there's, they bought 2 others from other dealerships, haven't sold one yet. The owner of the dealership is a real JERK. Tried to buy mine there, he wouldn't budge. Went to a dealership 15 miles away, they had the same $10,000.00 mark-up, I asked them if they were crazy, they said no, just wanted to find out if I was, we then came to a good deal. Drove it to the other dealership showed it to him, he didn't even flinch!

Also here in SoCal same deal, all dealers markup the price. Im so happy I have a Candyred Prowler and Prowler Candyred trailer too. I got mine from a dealer in Ohio that I found in Autoweek. Back in Feb. 2002 43K for a Candyred was a deal to me. God is good!!!
