THE RED 2002 FORD THUNDERBIRD SOLD FOR JUST $8,500!
I filmed these incredible cars at the MAG Auction
at Hot August Nights 2017 in Reno. The 4-day auction ran Wednesday through Saturday on Hot August Night Week of August 8-13. The red car ran across the block and sold for just $8,500. Can you believe it? That seems cheap for such a nice car. It would seem that these cars continue struggling to find a following. They failed to catch on when they were new, and so far they are depreciating just like any other used car. At some point, they’ll hit bottom then start coming back up, slowly at first, but then they’ll gain momentum. That’s my prediction anyway, based on what I’ve seen happen to other cars. The 3rd- and 4th-gen Camaro/Firebird are good examples. So, buy now and hold for the long haul. Best not to drive it though, to preserve it’s value, right? Forget it! I’m drivin’ it!!
