when done, just resell it and you will make most of your money back!

you will lose the same depreciation with less "popular" ones, like Corsa or Remus, etc, so in reality you will be out the same money if not more when all said and done.

as I always tell my kids, Don't be penny wise Dollar Stupid...
Time value of money comes into play. Putting up $3,000+ in hopes that in two years the kool-aid will still taste sweet and you can resell for $2,500 is a little risky IMO.
