Noellenchris said:My opinion is that if anyone drove the old 60's mustangs and grew up loving them, then our 12 & 13 is the last of the live axle. Other than a Cobra Jet, I don't see Ford ever making them again. The Mustang will never again be true to it's roots. I feel our Boss's will eventually go up in value on the Collectability standpoint. It's the last and touted as the fastest Mustang ever made. And that will hold up as far as live axle mustangs like the originals. The new generation is totally different and will never ride like a true Mustang to me anyhow. I learned to drive in a 66 mustang and I will never forget that feeling. So if anyone wants a live axle Mustang 10 to 20 years from now, and if they want the fastest best handling one, they will pay top dollar to add a Boss to their collection. Just my opinion. I also think the 13 and 14 GT500 will be somewhat in the same boat. Hope I'm right.

coboss said:With all due respect, I think you are going to be disappointed. Having a live axle is *not* going to be a selling point for the Boss 20 years from now. Yes, you and I grew up with live axle muscle cars, but the people who will be buying cars 20 years from now are growing up with turbocharged IRS cars with tons of electronics and AWD in many cases. The Boss is going to look like a dinosaur. Also, the numbers on the GT350 are going to annihilate the Boss. Think about a 1967-68 Mustang GT 390 vs. a 1969-70 Mach I Cobra Jet 428. The GT 390 is a sweet car and has appreciated, but in the big scheme of things, someone looking for appreciation would have been better off going with a Mach I over a '67-68 GT unless the GT had the extremely rare 428.
The cars that have held value or appreciated the past few years? Acura NSX, Honda S2000, Nissan GT-R, Subaru STi, Mitusbishi Evo, Mazda RX7 Turbo, Toyota Supra Turbo, BMW M-series. Find a good one of these and put it away for a few years. The NSX has already taken off, but the others can still be found. Less than five years ago you could find a really nice, low mile NSX in the $25K range, now they are over $40K.

Boss mac said:I'm not sure the Boss will be in the 20s unless it's say 20k plus miles. I think they will hold strong 30k+ especially with the gt350 costing 25k more. Even a 15k with options is mid 40s Think about it, 03-04 cobra with lower miles are still mid 20s.
coboss said:Heck, there is a zero mile 2013 Boss 302s on eBay right now for $75K. That surprises me. If there was *any* way to get that thing on the street I'd buy it and sell my 2013 Boss.
BOSSSTANG said:a 15 mile 12' LS went ofr $60k at Mecum two weeks ago, if that means anything!
Grant 302 said:There was an S listed pretty recently for $60k.
coboss said:It means that assuming the owner didn't pay over MSRP (a lot of '12 LS sold with ADM), they only lost a little money when taxes, license, insurance and storage costs are figured.
