Will Chrysler End Increase Values?

[Bingster]

I have a newer Chrysler 300. I am wondering if the demise of Chrysler will increase its value or decrease it.

You are assuming there will be a Chrysler demise. They may pull out of it and do well according to some sources. If there is a demise, I think it will lower the value of your car. Just my 2 cents worth.

now is the time to run out and buy you a Chrysler..deals to be had and if they go under where in hell you gonna find a good car these day..I have mine...that is my answer to all this bail out bs..seems no one had a problem till the government started handing out free money..now everybody want something for nothing...

Chrysler product lower trade value was based upon the fact there was nothing to base the facts on..the owner of Chrysler products seldom traded a car till pasts its tenth anniversary..thus when they reached second owners the cars were very high mileage used up vehicles..not a low mileage poorly made problem child being passed on by the first owner...(personal opiinion folks..nothing more...)

Deals to be had?? not at the dealerships around here. Seems like they are standing their ground and business as usual.

[Plymouthy Adams]

yes..but are these dealers slated for eventual closure..? I think If I read correctly there will be entire states without a dealership...now pray tell how and where would a person expect service/warranty work be accomplished

I agree with assessments that IF Chrysler Corp. ceases to exist that values on MoPars will likely decrease. Look at '48 Tuckers. There were only 51 made, and ~48 still in existence. They were/are remarkable vehicles 20 years ahead of their time and well-promoted in the general culture. They go for $100K now. Not really very much when one considers that a fully-restored Ford or Chevy woodie station wagon of similar vintage goes for similar money at auction. Dodge and Plymouths usu. go for around $65K.

My neighbour asked me a similar question Mother's Day weekend. I told him that my P15's peak value was a couple of years ago, and probably now won't keep up with inflation and I would likely "take a hit" IF Chrysler fails.

I think that the older iron will remain unaffected simply because there is nothing that Chrysler is doing for our cars parts wise, the only thing they are of value for is the certicication by copy of a production sheet on your body number...

Wonder if they go under if repro parts could become easier to get permission to make?

[Plymouthy Adams]

So car the name lives on as does the restricition for repop parts

The Chrysler dealer in our area was told he's out, he's advertising 40 % off on all stock.

I was hoping someone would buy rights to make all the old parts from Chryslers tooling and prints. Chrysler always had a "Thanks but no way" approach when it came to licensing their parts for the aftermarket manufacturers.
