The resale value of an Elio is somewhere between the resale value of a unicorn and a gryffon.I wonder what one of these will go for on the open market while all the late registers are waiting for theirs, or people who don't register and decide they want one at almost any cost?
Curb, welcome form sunny warm New Mexico. Some really fret people on the forum and are willing to answer any questions you may have. Enjoy the journey and the Elio experience.I wonder what one of these will go for on the open market while all the late registers are waiting for theirs, or people who don't register and decide they want one at almost any cost?
Of course it's all speculation, and I'll add, yes initially there will be folks who see one on the road who "must have it", and can afford to pay a premium. When it's all in place, there will be no incentive to buy privately as with a 24 hour turn-around, you'll be able to order exactly the options and colors, by that time, yours will be a "used" car, and I'd guess 50% of purchase price Timing will be everything- and in my case I'm hoping I can sell my 7013, while it's still very "hot" at a premium, which will offset purchasing my second, if not keep the first and sell the 2nd all-in. the third allows me to just walk away and get my $100.00 "want in" deposit refunded.I think at one point (60k?) reservations will closed, so any type of deposit will ensure a vehicle, before it's easily available (stores are open) to the "public" hey, but that's just me. I hope we all get to be owners and not reservationists.I wonder what one of these will go for on the open market while all the late registers are waiting for theirs, or people who don't register and decide they want one at almost any cost?

Good Plan! In seeing the closed first run estimated 60k production number, I'm thinking there hasn't been much movement from the current 40-42,000 level, seems it may have peaked.Welcome from THE Sunshine State
