You do know that in 30 years that million bucks might buy a synburger at McTofu if your lucky?

My opinion is that the car will not achieve any great levels of value - even with the relatively low numbers sold. The special models, SRT & roadsters will do better, but that dang slush box gets in the way. Best I think we can hope for is a slower rate of depreciation - but I haven't seen that yet!

Last year had the dealer install new headlights (getting milky). When I went to pick the car up, the mechanic that did the work came out to see whose car it was. Suggested I keep it as it would become valuable some day. It would be nice if he was right, but I don't think so.

Best thing is to enjoy the car now. If it retains some larger level of value then ordinary cars, so much the better. That icing on the cake should not be the reason for buying a car, unless you are just an investor.

Fun stuff is like buying a 1959 AH Sprite in 1971 for $35. Today, I still have the car, + many many memories, and it is worth a bit more than $35. I didn't buy it for that reason - back in 1971 all I could afford was a cheap sports car. Another way of looking at a xfire purchase is to see what else the money would have gotten you as far as a set of wheels is concerned. People who see the car think it is much more expensive then they are. Reality is that a nice Camry or Accord costs more than my xfire and are not nearly as much fun.

Henry - who hopes he is wrong on this one but intends to drive the wheels off of it in the meantime!
