You can pick up anniversery 03 convertibles for mid-high 20's. Fun cars. A friend has a 03 red convertible.

IMO you would be wrong to think a certain color is going to make the car hold its value any better. If it does it will do so for a very limited audience which translates into a long selling process.

FWIW there are still brand new 03 coupes out there on dealer lots. Hella discounts. Outdated design aside they can be made seriously fast for very little money.

Its interesting, I'm definitely in the minority that thinks the new Mustang looks overstyled and contrived. One man's opinion and probably most don't share it. I especially don't care for the forward leaning grille. Retro gone bad. That being said, the underpinnings are a definite step ahead.

Anyway, now that I've singled myself out as a styling curmudgeon, I think that ride looks pretty good. Chrome wheels aren't particularly MY thing, but I'm an old school toad anyway. That sucker will sound great with the top down and a good exhaust on it.

It will likely have a bump in value way down the line for that rare color combo, but probably not like the ultra-rare combos of the 60's and early 70's.

Now Blowzilla that bad boy!

Thanks for the input. I thought about getting a Chrome Orange Elise, but the wait is just stupid. I am not buying the car as an investment...as no car near this price is or could be. I am buying it because I love the orange convertible with V-8 supercharged power. I will change out the rims and tires, stiffen the chassis, change the exhaust and a add a cold air.

You can see Nin009 purchased the Lotus Elise, so I thought I should get something to toy with him. I will need to do some serious suspension work to keep up with him in the corners, but I hope to catch him on the straights (especially since we're at altitude). With the right skills...he will be mine. God forbid I get too close to him...since my rims and tires weight more than his whole car...I might literally blow him off the road.

Thats right Nin009 its an official calling out...

I sounded hostile just to get you guys goin...no hard feelings...m-kay.

I post here because I loved my S2K, I just can't buy the same car twice. Damn it Honda put a uber-light V-6 in it already.

Bahhhhh. Rims and tires? Don't forget your spare tire around the midsection. Skinny people don't need torque or FI. Mmmm, cheeseburgers. That alone is handicap enough for me.

Oooohhh it's getting personal now...I guess when it comes down to it your not really a threat, since you won't have time to drive it anyway. "Oh, I can't drive this weekend I have to go to a car show" and pimp my products (and myself).

Even at my skinniest my left leg out weight you...light weight.

It was a 2003 coupe...I'm gettin a 2004 convertible.

Plus the coupe was my daily driver...now I am rolling in the C32 AMG. That car has spoiled me on trying to find a weekend car. The 0-60 acceleration is sweet. It's the only four seater I have been in that pins you to the seat.
