The picture is just a picture of a Fox, not of the value of that fox. I was wondering what you all think of the Foxs values in general. Like would u pay more or less now that we have the 05 out?

The Foxes are still on the downside of the depreciation curve sincethey're still considered just used cars. I think that some of the cars could reach collector status within the next few years though, if fact, it almost seems like the notchback LX 5.0 cars have leveled out a bit.

The release of the '05 has had no effect on Fox values....IMO. The Fox is too old for a new car to have an effect on price....after all, someone buying an '05 99.999% of the time was not considering a Fox Mustang as an alternative

i agree with paul. the values have stayed pretty much the same recently. the more rare ones have a higher value. but the regular 50's are still very cheap. but they didnt cost much to begin with

I always have and always will love the foxes, and I plan to own one soon enough.

Fox bodies have been pretty much depreciated as much as there going to. Maybe a little more. But, that is nothing compared to depreciation that's going to happen to the 05 over the next decade and a half. IMO.
Mostly because the 05 will still have a loan value for at least the next 5 maybe 6 years
Where as fox bodies the Banks would just laugh and say the cars to old for them to loan money.
However, that's not to say you can't get a personal cash loan.
Right now you can find fox bodies for a song at just about every wrecker impound auction there is. occasionally some are in good shape body wise.
I remember when you could get a 65 notchback for a song as well. But, let's face it, those days are long gone.
I see a similar thing happening to fox bodies but it won't happen over night. More like another 20 years.
Though 05's and fox bodies do have one thing in common. Using either one as a daily driver will do nothing but bring there value down. and accelerate the depreciation.
Unfortunately the only way to have any hope of maintaining or even seeing real appreciation is to store it for lots of years. and not drive it much like the big boys do. Like Leno and such.

I think this is an interesting topic. It's been my impression that the later Foxes are seeing some recognition. However, as a driver of an early Fox, I think the image of the early Foxes as the dark Stang days, will be hard to kill. Of course, there's the flip side, you can get a decent 79-83 stang for not a lot of money.

I'd love to have an 82 GT, with a newer motor and drive line of course....problem is finding them. back when I was looking for a fox it seemed if it had any kind of mod done to it the owner wanted some outrageous amount of money because it was supposed to be something special I guess...bout as special as a fox with a 4in cowl and saleen wing....

Valentino,
You hit on exactly what I mean. You want an 82, but you don't actually want a real 1982 Mustang, with the original 82 driveline. Perhaps my 1980 Coupe is becoming a rarity as it is stock (and probably lower miles than the average 2000 stang), hehe.

I think the value is on the rise if its a coupe. Hatchs/gts are a dime a dozen. But nice, clean, low mileage coupes are hard to find. Although it could take more time to sell a nice one for more money than a rough one really cheap.
