I drive a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee, above average but, high (156K) miles.
My wife has a 98 Forrester, nice, 89 k mi.
The Jeep is worth maybe $1850, the Subie, $4000.
My 98 Tourer would not leave my garage for less than $6500.
Anyone else have a similar situation

its really not a fair question. if push came to shove, all of my vehicle would go before the valk. not sure how to say what its worth to the public, i just know what its worth to me. knowing it is not replaceable, thats what scares me.  |

I have NEVER paid 1/2 of what my Valk cost for a vehicle. Traded up couple times and I think My 95 f350 Powerstroke is worth almost what the Valk is... Never made a vehicle payment EVER

Well let's see: I drive a 2003 s-10 with 168k on it, Wife's winter car is a 1999 gmc suburban with 150k, Her summer car is a 94 buick with 107k. My valk is a 2001 standard with 18k and lots of bling. My math is bad but I am betting on the Valk. I rate it as priceless. It is the only one that resides in my garage.

We have a 1997 and 1998 Valkyrie Tourers. I also have a 1992 Mustang LX 5.0 that I have owned since 1994 with the exception of a few years that my sister owned it and she gave it back to me. I know that either of the Valks are worth more than the Mustang, but I would get rid of both Valkyries before I got rid of the Mustang again.....  |

Hmm, well I have another obsession. I have seven Pontiac Fieros. Only one is still stock, the rest have something different that what came out stock. Some of them I have a lot of money in but, should push come to shove, the Valk will stay and the Fieros will go. Let's not talk about what is faster though, I'm not real sure my Valk could take the 3800 Supercharged Fiero, that dang thing is scary.  blackrams |

Let's see...
'97 Valk Tourer, 104K excellent condition, worth maybe $4,500?
'98 Valk Tourer, 24K near perfect, worth maybe $7,000?
'99 Valk Std. a/m bags w/OEM windshield 48K Very good condition, worth maybe $5,500?
Valks total worth maybe $17,000.
'93 LX Mustang 4 banger, 155K good condition kids car, worth maybe $2,500?
'00 Ranger XLT S/Cab 91K good condition, worth maybe $5,000?
'03 Sable GS 85K very good condition, worth maybe $4,500?
Cars total worth approx. $12,000.
17K-12K= Valks worth $5,000 more than our 4 wheeled vehicles.
HMMMMM???

Let's just say that the excise tax on my 99 Valk was more than it was on my '89 Sundance, even though the Valk has more miles than the 51K on the Plymouth...

Of my running rigs: 97 Jimmy, 97 ck1500 pickup, 89 S10, all together might be worth the value of the Valk..my 65 Chevelle is worth about the same, but in pieces and need about the same amount of coin to get back on the road...the 64 could eventually be worth as much as well..the Mazda's are as much fun as the valk but currently none are worth as much

2002 F150 that I drive once in a while it has 83.567 miles on it. 1995 Ford Probe that has 120,000 miles on it that I love to drive to the gas station and fill up, it gets better gas milage than the Valkyrie does :cooldude:2007 Dodge Avenger that the wife drives 2002 Honda Shadow 750 that might have 5000 miles on it. To be honest I do not want to get rid of any of them. NO CAR OR BIKE PAYMENTS!! The Valkyrie would be the last to go if I ever came to that point  IMHO I do not think any of them are worth more than my Valkyrie |

My primary cage is a 97 Dodge full size truck with 50,000 miles. Secondary cage is a 1980 Ford 4 wheel drive truck with 107,000 miles. Valk is worth more than both trucks together I imagine. The wife drives a 98 van. If I was buying another vehicle it would be a bike. Old cages are good enough.

Primary cage: '96 Saturn with 440,000 km.
Secondary cage: '80 GMC half-ton, unrestored.
Both together might be worth 1/4 or 1/3 of my Valk.
I hope this changes after I get my engineering degree in 2014.

In the last 10 years - I gues I paid more for my 99 IS than I did for any of my vehicles My 2004 F150 might be worth more than the 99 IS at todays book value, however the orginal puchase I paid more for the IS  My 2004 Impala might be = to the current value of the 99 IS  My 2000 mini van will cost me more to fix than it's worth  I'd pay more for a bike than I would for a vehicle

My snowmobile is a 93 Pontiac Bonneville that cost me $2900 5 years ago, mostly sits in the driveway unless there's snow on the ground.
My 99 I/S, (15k miles when bought, now 28k) bought last spring, was $9000; and I've put over $2500 into goodies for her, many that have to be installed this spring. That's 4 times what I have in the car, and still climbing.

My uncle in Michigan is big time into Fieros. He belongs to some club up there and enters one of his four Fieros in shows. I've thought several times about getting my hands on one of the LT1-converted ones - but haven't pulled the trigger as I can only have one toy at a time right now. Pics and info are much appreciated! |
