Thread: "The Car Show" needs you...I need you...

Hey everyone,

For anyone who doesn't know me (only like 5 to 349,834 of you), my name is Zack. I'm a writer on Smoking Tire, friend of Aimee's and one of the grunts working on "The Car Show." We have a taping this week, and we're discussing luxury cars that have depreciated in value. Specifically cars that started in the $60-100k range and are now $40k or less.

The powers that be want to talk to some owners via SKYPE, about their experience trying to sell a used luxury car in the current market. I've struck out emailing people selling their cars, but I thought who would know better about this than the L4P crew. I'd volunteer myself, but the depreciation on a modded Miata isn't much.

So if anyone is trying to sell a "luxury car" (luxo SUV, sedan, BMW, Mercedes, blah blah) and have owned it long enough to see a big drop in it's value and you wouldn't mind talking to Adam Carolla, Matt and Dan Neil over skype on Thursday, message me.

Sorry to keep throwing out spammish posts. I like cars a lot more than I like production work, so I'm trying to do this with the utmost respect. Thanks so much. Back to the mine shaft.

Oh come on now. It can't be that bad.

To me Maserati is a great candidate. I am doing to move this to automotive for a better response.

How long is "long enough" on the value drop?

Just e-mailed you, Zack.

Sorry, I didn't know you until now.

I could have told you about how little I got for my Qvale when I sold it, but I don't have Skype. On the flip side I could tell you about the great deal I got on my SL when I bought it .

Let's see... any British car that starts with a "J", maybe?

LMAO! Instant decline.

Talk to AUDI. They stamp their resale values on every car. 0000

I have a 2000 BMW E38 7 Series 740iL that was $102k brand new.


Right now, they go from $3k - $15k
