[avenga]

Yeah. They had the starting bid at $1,800 no reserve. Buy now was still set at $3k so I just bid $1,800.

I've been watching that drop in price. I still think the price is too high.

Last time someone offered them $4,000, and they did a fixed price offer of $6,500 but nobody took it. But now it's back up to $7,800.

Considering what I bought my recent Avengers for, and what other Avengers have sold for then I think they are only going to get around the $4,000-5,000 region.

It's been on Trademe for almost a year now, started at $11,000, which was an insane valuation. I think the problem is that they got a "Professional Valuation" for $11,000 and that's what they think Avengers are worth. When you look at recent sales then Avenger's aren't worth anywhere near that. I got my 2 latest ones for $1,000 and $4,500, and that yellow GLS from the museum sold for $2,250. In the end of the day, a car is only worth what the market is willing to pay, it doesn't matter if someone valued it at $11,000, if the market doesn't agree then it won't sell. Personally I think they need to drop the price a lot more if they want to sell it. I'm pretty sure the 35 people who had it on their watchlist are just guys like us who are just watching to see how low it drops.

There is this 1980 Chrysler Avenger GLS Auto for $4,500 starting bid with no reserve (last time he listed it he had a $4,000 starting bid and got 1 bid at $4,000 but didn't get to the reserve)

Then there is also this 1973 Avenger which is a bit beat up and is struggling to sell at $5,800

I would like to see the value of Avengers go up like other classic cars (My Valiant Charger is now worth about 8 times what I paid for it back in 2004) but it does look like Avenger prices have just stagnated, not sure what it is about the Avenger that hasn't sparked interest. It does make them a really cheap classic car to get in to, but it does mean that our investment in our classics don't go up (Which isn't why I buy cars anyway)

Just as an example, here are some of the prices for Avengers I have bought over the last 13 years, and you will see prices haven't moved much, back in the late 90's to early 2000's I could get Avengers for around $36-125 but then by 2010 they go to about $4,000 and plateaued there.

2010: My 1975 sedan $4,000 (Before I restored it and turned it in to the Panther)
2017: My 1980 wagon $6,000 (Before the V8 converion)
2021: My 1974 wagon $3,500 (That blue one that I got going after 15 years then sold on)
2022: My 1979 wagon $4,500
2022: My 1979 Van $1,000
