Soft market now for all sports cars given economy concerns. C6 Vette leftovers are selling at $12k-13k below list. BMW M Roadster has a ton of dealer incentives on the hood. 350Z vert in a similar situation. There's an awful lot of people that seems to be visiting the forum if there's no demand for the car. Simple fact is Chrysler had to either pay for a production run of 100k cars or pay a penalty clause to Karmann on the shortfall. Almost all their major competitors have been selling less than 10k cars a year in this vehicle class, and by those standards the Crossfire was selling pretty decently. The entire 4+ yr Prowler production run was < 12k. With a divorice pending with Mercedes, Chrysler tried to spread the income statement hit into future years through these short term leases and mfr auctions. Wholesaler buyers pick them @ auction and you get a short term glut for sale.

Once sold they're not making any more, the "for sale" pool drops while demand remains roughly the same. Demand patterns run the same on all sports cars, performance variants and rag-tops are most widely sought. SRTs and Limited 6 speed convertibles will likely always have the best demand to production ratio and thus best resale. Automatic base and limited coupes probably the lowest demand relative to the production, and thus the lowest resale. If you want to minimize the risk of a significant resale hit that's your answer. But more important, get what you like and enjoy, right?
