Sad Sight

[RT42]

While driving past a local Ford dealer (not in my bluebird, too much snow and salt)yesterday I saw two 02 birds a black & a blue premium convertible sitting out front in the snow with a lease for $399 sticker in the windshield . . .could 31,000 built have saturated the market demand?

btw Bueler Ford rt 36 Eatontown NJ

25,000-30,000 was always a lot of two seater $40,000 cars to sell, especially in a sluggish economy with a lot of automobile competition.

Two sitting at my local dealer for last two months, now surrounded by snow!
Who will by them, even at discounted rates?
I would spend the extra few thou to get the latest.
Ford's and their dealers better idea is to go the beanie baby route get the most while the going is good and flood the market hoping their luck will hold.
Like beanie babies the flood will just fuel the demise.
Still like mine but did not expect that it will be worth a bunch in the future, for the next 20 years it will be more or less a pretty used car!

I think that anyone that buys anything these days thinking that its going to be collectible or gain in value is fooling themselves. An '02 T Bird may gain in value 20 or 25 years from now, but who wants to buy a car like this and store if for 20 years. I'm driving mine everyday and plan to continue to do so and enjoy it.
