It's not rocket science but one of the best times to buy a used car is when it has depreciated 1.5-2.5 years from purchase and depending on the economy/car. So far I've made my list of cars in no particular order that I would consider buying in the future. Below are approximate prices found on autotrader and edmunds.

- BMW E60 M5 06'///New: $92K+/- Used: $60-68K

- MB CL55 04-05'///New: $100K+/- Used: $54k-60K

- Lotus Elise 2005///New: $43k+/- Used: $30-35k

Anybody else have a list?

Older generation M5, still a great great car.

I've noticed the E39 M5 has held better value in comparison to the E60 M5s which are dropping like rocks.

Good luck with the Wrangler. I was looking into them a while ago, and they REALLLLY seem to hold their value for some reason. In my price range I couldn't find anything with less than 120,000mi on it. I couldn't believe it.

I am waiting for the GMT900 trucks to age a little and then I am going to replace my Yukon with one.

I worry about used sports cars. They can get beat to CRAP and abused, but still command a chunk of money, but now there is no warranty left.
