I got it which is why I bought the roadster as soon as it was available.

The steep depreciation in price allowed me the "luxury" of adding an SRT6 and the 2007 coupe for a combined price of what I paid for the roadster.

If you bought the car for an investment or expected it to retain value, then it was a poor decision. Cars are not good investments despite what we see on the auto auctions on tv. A car is either basic transportation (like my wife's Mercury Milan) or a fun driving machine (like my Audi A6 or the XF's). Since I intend to keep them for a long time, the current market value really means nothing to me. I'm more concerned with parts availability in the future -- I can always find a M-B experienced mechanic to perform repairs.
