I bought my Crossfire to enjoy. Geography does come into play with values, a bit. Two years ago, we paid $15K for a 2007 Limited Roadster with just under 18K miles. Similar cars out West here go as high as $20K. And, I've seen some back East as low as $7K. One thing I keep in mind is the wisdom of Jay Leno: "never buy a car as an investment."
I bought Freya to drive and drive and drive. One day, I'll sell her, but not for a long, long time.
