Default Price raise with production halted?

Wanted to see if you guys thought the price of S2000s' would increase with the announcement that production is halting in 2009. I was planning on waiting till next winter to buy one, but now i'm scared if I wait that long the prices will get higher instead of getting lower because it'll be more of a collector's thing.

Car market is absolute crap right now especially for niche cars. Come back in 15-20 years and then just maybe it will start appreciating.

prices will plateau...so don't count on them decreasing much more...however, they also won't be rising anytime soon...

I'm hoping the price doesn't rise. I'm planning to get one this coming winter.

I'll sell you my MY00 for $40k. It's a limited edition! Rare! Out of print!

No I don't think they will. They still have to move their inventory and any "demand" that was out there will take the remaining cars.... The last few may be sticklers but not by much. Just talking out my ass of course...

Gosh, I'm hoping they don't. I've always wanted a S2000 and after driving my cousin's, I want one even more. By the end of this year, I should have enough money saved up for one.
