Not 100% related, but the insurance on my C7 Corvette was SIGNIFICANTLY less than the insurance on the Golf R. I am talking like 50% less...

Room is also my concern, otherwise I would undoubtedly have one...

That's pretty low. Obviously once a car bottoms out it's not going to depreciate much more. But that doesn't mean it hasn't depreciated much.

In comparison, that site says the average price for an S2000 is $17,514. Huge difference.

A lot of car for $14k. For comparison the S2000 prices are flat since '08 and if milage is held constant they've gone up. That's pretty much unheard for a car that isn't rare. The Z is still in steady if slow decline.
