People think the used price gradually went to 18k... it was not a slow descent for us impatient folks who bought in early.

The only way you got shafted was if you paid above sticker in the first place. That was the shafting not the resale value. Did you really expect to get more than the rest of those "lower priced" FRS that were inevitably to follow?
Yes, you as an individual may have had greater deprecation than you wanted but that does not mean the car was any worse than most.
