Oh yeah make no mistake of it, I have been watching for sale forum for 2 years now. I started as a lurker to x $$$ willing to spend to my latest purchase.
Last year things were still good in term of cars for sale. I was after an 08 SC Elise. At the beginning of summer 2013 its like sales fell to zero. By that I mean cars for sale. It remained constant all winder and this spring as well. When an 08 did appear it was priced high.
I saw lots of 05 and 06's this spring, like way too many to the point I was almost willing for grab one of them. I ended up settling on an offer I could not resist for an 07. I dont mean settle in a bad sense, I really love the car. I just like to stay to my limits requirements.
I will say I have not seen the same trend for exige's. Though I dont pay a lot of attention to them, I have seen a lot of them for sale since summer of 2013.
enderw88, that is what I fear also, I tried to hold out for a nice blue, and in 2013 I turned down an 08 SC polar blue for 43 k, regretted it all winter. You made a good choice ( just wait till you see that color in person ).
