No car in the sub $50k (even $100k) arena will ever be considered collectable as it comes from the factory, not withstanding competition history, celebrity status, etc. I would be absolutely amazed if the price went up in value. Remember, this is a car going out of production because it is not selling. Therefore, no one wants it. So why would people suddenly realize the error of their ways and seek them out en masse? No, I'm afraid they would not. Besides, there are several other desirable two seaters that are still in existence. Most people like strength in numbers, that is why there is a Bimmer in every other garage. Crossfire owners don't want to meet themselves at every other intersection. The era of the 50's thru early 70's collectible car is gone forever, so we are faced with disposable cars and trucks. In the modern era, the Crossfire is just another car. One that is quickly going out of production. As such, the Crossfire is depreciating over 20% a year, high by even US car standards and this is a European built car. My guess is we will see the Crossfire become one of the best used coupe/convertible deals to hit the planet since the introduction of the automobile. The replacement parts may become an issue but many parts have been made for a car line that has been around for 3-4 years, especially since it is one car with only one other iteration as a convertible. The engine parts can be found in their M-B counterparts. The knick knacks will find themselves on eBay to the highest bidder. If you are not in it for the long haul, then sell your Crossfire now. If you like it for what it is and have no compunction about the value falling like a cinderblock, then drive it and love it. The best deal will come to those who buy a used one only a few years old.
