Default Thinking of buying a Coupe...

I rented a Crossfire convertible last year while on a trip and loved it. Couldn't get it out of my mind, or heart as I simply loved it. I'd like to get a hardtop but have some concerns:
1. expense of maintenance - I've heard it can cost $200 for an oil change (in the Washington, DC area).
2. was just told the Crossfire has been discontinued by Chrysler - will that have a negative effect on the value of the car?
3. how about tires - I suspect they are high performance and very expensive.

Mostly I"m concerned about a $200/oil change job.

Also, if I do decide to buy a coupe, is ebay motors good, or should I rely on my local dealer to locate it (higher price I'm sure).
