If you buy a reasonable example, expect to pay $8000 to $10,000 for a car with 40,000 to 60,000 miles. You can drive it to 100,000 without much risk of spending a LOT on upkeep. They will be enjoyable miles and you will get $4000 to $5000 (maybe) for it by then. If $5000 is a 'big loss' to you, and if enjoying the car for years is not worth that price, forget the Crossfire.
My SE cost me $9000 with 28000 miles in 2015. If I tried to sell it today, I question if I could get over $7000 for it. BUT, I've driven it 28,000 miles and had tremendous enjoyment doing so - if I could only get $3500 for it today, that would be fine by me.
Of course, it does not matter what I can get for it, I won't sell it, my kids will be dealing with THAT issue...... In fact, I think I'll get me one of those SRT Roadster thingies to go with it.
