Yep, unfortunately. Are we smarter consumers than, say, 20 years ago?
When I spend a pile of money on something I prefer it doesn't tank, so yeah I take it into consideration.
Anyone seen this test on Motor Trend?

Are people hung up on investment value or whether to pay over MSRP for the thing? I wouldn't care whether it's an investment as most new cars are not very good investments, but at the same time I wouldn't pay over MSRP for anything.
I am hung up value. 70k for a r that you can really use is ok. 107-117k for a r after price "adjustments" and you walk across the street to dodge and buy a ACR and be done with it. But the guys actually using there cars on the track bs the hard park crowd and investment crowd is 1:500

Would the ACR not have a significant markup too? I know Vipers aren't selling, but it seems like that model might be sold higher than MSRP in most cases just like the GT350. Obviously, you get a lot more track car for your money, and probably better collectability if you're into that, but is getting an ACR near MSRP reasonable?
In reply to STM317:
They want them sold, not sitting on dealer lots.

Good to know, even though I'll never be in a position to buy one.
