I know any answer to this thread will most likely be a guess at best, but this is still something which has been at the back of my mind for some time now.
How do you figure the pandemic will impact the residual value on a (new) California? There seems to have been an unprecedented surge in orders for new Calis. Quite a few people who wouldn't have given a campervan a second thought are interested in purchasing one or have already done so. I have a feeling quite a few of these vans will end up on the second hand market quite quickly after the restrictions lift or start to lift.
Now,I'm still thinking about purchasing a Cali as well, mainly waiting on a showroom-model/demonstrator which should arrive at the dealership later this month.
Now, if we purchase one, I'm certainly not planning on selling it anytime soon, but the fact remains that it is a huge amount of money and having the "guarantee" of good residual value does soften the blow somewhat. In my mind, that guarantee might be seriously questionable once this whole thing ends.
What are your thoughts?
