Before buying the R8 I kept a close eye on the used F430 and Gallardo market. It was nuts how much the prices of those cars would fluctuate. Most cars are worth 50% or less of their sticker in 5...

Yup. Obviously it has a lot to do with where you live, but I'm in the Chicagoland area, where winter sucks.

Based on what I've seen for performance cars, the price will fall around December, and either go back up in April or remain the same.

Asking price likely 21k or so this winter for one with 10k miles. You can probably pick some up for under 20k this winter if I had to guess.

I don't, 150mph was fast in 2000. 200mph is the new 150mph. But anyways, you guys need to take a chill pill. Come to the realization that most people aren't car fanatics like us.

Different living conditions I suppose, I live outside of Chicago. The worst we'll see is a blizzard or tornado which is typically only a few days of problems and very isolated (tornado).

Bull. He'll likely be able to sell it for around the same price he bought it for in 8 months. He's getting employee pricing and the 5th gen Camaro is a pretty popular car (not sure why).

Cause threads like "Do you drift your FRS" exist just a couple inches under this one. And then there's the picture thread which displays some horrendously riced out versions of the FRS/BRZ.

I don't own an FRS or BRZ, but I understand the feeling you're getting, but I also think the engine is probably "lugging" in 2nd gear up the hill at low speeds.
