So, here's what I am seeing on e-bay in the past week or so:
The yellow/touring one in NJ sold for $5K over list. That's the best anything has done recently as far as I can tell. The Nightfall blue with HT and touring car got bid to $1500 over (the buy price was listed at a very optimistic $10K over). The Artic Silver car with HT and touring got no bids with the auction starting at $4K over. Another Nightfall car (touring and starshield) got one bid at $1500 over but did not sell either.
Conclusion: The reality of this being a limited market appeal car is finally overcoming the imperfect market dynamics. Looks like sensible folks are willing to bid cars to $1500 over or so. market price?
Prediction: As supply is now catching up, the speculators are going to have a hard time making a buck and they will fall off the lists and the rest of us will be able to get our cars more quickly than expected. I predict that some folks may be able to negotiate off MSRP on cars by the middle of next year as lists will likely shrink fast due to the aforementioned speculators falling out and those with multiple deposits getting their cars.
