LOL ok man... it's not just ME not being able to get more than 11 grand (or so) for my Speed by the way? This isn't a car to buy if you're looking to turn it over and make a quick profit. (what car is?) Nonetheless, if I had known it would depreciate THIS fast I may have thought twice. Really doesn't make a difference... it's kind've like the question, if you had your money in the stock market during the '87 crash how much money did you lose? The answer: NONE! (unless you cashed out!) One last thing... if you plan on adding a turbo to the MP3 it'll essentially be an MSP (minus the better suspension and varioius other things) all that will cost you atleast a couple grand...and you won't have a warranty to go with it. If you're going to do that, you might as well just buy a new Speed for 16-17 grand. If you're just going to leave it stock, the MP3 is a decent (at best) deal at 12 grand. L8R
