Rookie Guide: How to Buy a Muscle Car Part 3

Today's topic:
Determine your price range and payment method
 
So just how do you really determine the price range for a classic muscle car?  Simple - you need to take a look at what the market thinks it's worth.  Just like real estate, muscle car values are determined by what the market thinks the cars are worth, not by calculating the sum cost of all of their parts.   The price that people are currently paying for muscle cars is key.  It's a subjective thing that relies on supply and demand.  Also, unlike 99% of modern cars, 1960's and '70's muscle cars are really not going down in value anymore.   Their value bottomed out long ago and has been on the rise ever since.  Over the past few years we've seen somewhat of a bubble in values, but they still remain quite high.
