Speaking of depreciation, when does the winter 'sweet spot' occur?
Everyone is aware of the price fluctuation before and after winter, where prices go down before and creep back up as summer approaches. Which month does it start to decline?
If everything goes to plan, I'll be back in the States in late July, and I plan to buy in August. But now I'm thinking August might be too early for the inevitable price decline to start, and it's definitely too early for the price decline to bottom out. I figure it bottoms out in December - January, at least it did when I was tracking prices on Jaguar XKRs.
I've been tracking Viper prices for a few months, and they are definitely in their winter decline right now. Curious to see what will happen between now and next summer price-wise.
I'm going to watch prices carefully this winter because I can delay the purchase until November of 2004, after which I'll have to leave the States again. Then again, if I buy in August, I can drive the snake for a few months all over the U.S.
Might be worth a couple/few G's just for the entertainment value.
