Might be bad mathematics as I am excluding taxes, but I figure that my actual selling price is $25,000.00 (self-justification )
Yea, the good news is the cars are holding their own so far as used book values go, but the reality is if you negotiate well, you can get a new one for the same price as retail used. If you are happy with the deal I'd go for it. You could always ask for a little more and back down if they won't budge.

Oh, and I happen to love the Caymen S. A good friend of mine had one, before the recession caused a downturn in his business. They are great cars. I think the 370 is a better bang for the buck, and he agreed as well. I think the way to go is a mint low mileage used Caymen S, let someone else take the depreciation and get a good deal.
