Chrysler has to do something about the resale or they will be left with 2007 models well into 2009... Why spend $36,000 when you can spend $15,000...?
Then again... maybe they just do not know what they are doing to help make this car the huge success it could be... It probably isn't a mistake the Seabring is taking some of its styling cues from Crossfire... If they do expect to retain Crossfire customers with 'that other coupe' and 'that other convertible' they are likely in for a big surprise...
I don't think resale will climb, but there will be more interest at the prices to come. I think what will happen is prices will start hitting $12k for used verts in '08 and there will be an annual decline of $2-3k every year after that until prices settle in the $6k range if parts don't become scarce for some reason.
Could it be that a low mileage, mint condition, non-SRT convertible would be going for $7-8k in 2010? I'd better start saving my pennies just in case.
