I don't care to much about re-sale value. Not enough to sway a decision in purchasing one vehicle compared to another.
I remember looking at a Stage 2 Roush that had a sticker price of $39,9xx. Ten feet away was a 03 Cobra selling at sticker of $35,000 (this was awhile ago when they could get that price). I couldn't justify buying the Stage 2 when the Cobra was cheaper, way faster, better seats, better engine, etc.... The only thing the Roush had was the looks. A 03 Cobra is somewhat bland looking.
Over the past year I almost bought a Saleen S281, Saleen S/C 281, Roush Stage 2, and a Stage 3. In the end I picked the Cobra. Not so sure if that was the best move on my part.
