I just looked on Ebay, If I looked right, there is a 2001 Orange (the best color) with almost 10,000 miles and the "buy it now price" is $ 31,500. That's a shame when a $ 45,000 car will only fetch $ 31,500 and it's a year old.

Duane... a Jeep Cherokee is 35K new, and is worth 8 K in 4 years... this is NORMAL and most cars are worth LESS. Why buy used when you can buy new? Especially when new can be bought for only 35K with a little looking. You have to remember. a rare car also happens to have a rare buyer. When you need to sell NOW... who wants it?

Funny thing is, I found a couple of NEW oranges for $35K with no miles on them so, $31,5K w/ 10,000 miles does not sound that good.......

All car prices are depressed right now. The prowler maybe more so cause it's a specialty/novelty car.

But that car is almost three model years old and is used with 10,000 miles on it. So, when talking about normal cars, that car is no longer a $45,000 car. Most cars lose that much just driving it off the lot. Considering the market and economy right now, I dont think the Prowler is doing too bad right now. Not great like it was 1-2 years ago, but compared to the typical car, it's not too bad.

With prices as low as they are right now, I wish I had the extra cash to pick up another Prowler.

Just going to have to wait right now.

I'm not sure that winter is when the strongest prices are going to show up, either...

Most people aren't thinking of a top-down cruiser in mid-December (unless you live in SoCal).

even here, prices are down, asking and selling are seldom the same.

All good points. I guess in my eyes the Prowler is priceless.

Take Care,
