Craig, I'm going to put you on the spot and ask what your price expectations are.....?
The new Super 3 has been unveiled, received a fair amount of priase, but there are those that like the more traditional look of having the v-twin out front. Hence the point that this gets interesting, to see if the new car helps to drive up pricing on the previous model. This is an early model, and it is not evidenced that all the upgrades have taken place. M3Ws have traditionally gone for between $35-45K in the past couple of years. I expect this should go for north of $40K, but want to see what effect the Super 3 has. If the Super 3 proves to be a dependable fast vehicle I think most will chose one of these, the hair shirt people will live with the M3W I'm sure though as a "character" trike. So I think the prices will stick or fall if the Super 3 lives up to it's promise to deliver. There are a lot of M3W's for sale right now which does nothing for the prices. This has surprised me a little as I thought people might want to grab one quickly but I imagine S&S situation has affected this plus the I fancy a new toy factor. The fact that the S&S power unit is no longer supported will put a lot of people off an M3W I would have thought, it has had several problems and will always be a question mark. The next 6 months we should have a good indication of both markets.

As Morgan is now a specialist luxury vendor I am sure they will stand by their M3W customers with offers of alternative powertrains and bevel boxes when needed ...

PaulV What are you smoking......?I know from personal experience Morgan will walk away, dodge, duck, and avoid responsibility even for defects that subsequence evidence shows they were clearly aware of - the old "we've never seen that before" rubbish. Letters to Charles Morgan and Steve Morris went unanswered and it was only when I held our federal regulatory shotgun to their corporate temple did they conceded and finally do the repair properly. I'm surprised no one in the M3W community seemed to draw the same line in the sand. My issues were nothing like the safety, reliability, and quality problems 2011+M3W owners had to endure. Maybe things will change with a new shareholder.....
