I'm a newbie, and this looks like a great community!  Can't wait to be an Owner, too.
This may seem like a strange question.
I am beginning the search for a 3800 Open.  In seeing various asking prices for different years, engine hours, conditions, and options, I can't help but wonder what one of them cost when brand new back when they were making them in the early-to-mid 2000s.  Just wondering about general depreciation.  I realize that 2024 dollars are quite different in value than, say, 2005 dollars.
But I think that it's important to know how a Brand holds its value, and this may help me sort things out.  I know Tiaras are pretty much in a class by themselves, and I think the numbers should bear this out.
Can anyone give me any idea of List-Base-Price range in that year's dollars for any of the years 3800 Opens were made?
Thanks.

Base prices ranged from low $300's in '01 to low $400's in '08. Typical options easily added over $100k, even as much as $200k. Very common things like hardtops and a generator were expensive options not included in the base price. With all that said, I would say the typical 3800 Open cost about $750k when new when accounting for average options and inflation.

That's very comprehensive and very helpful.
Your reply is much appreciated, thanks!
