Well, bought my 2008 redline cheap, in January in a snow storm in Idaho, for $4750, but with a salvage title, due to theft & recover later. However, it cost $1800 to get it out of idaho in the dead if winter, and back to Kansas city. Then another $900 to fix the leaking water pump, replace hoses, belts, plugs, the usual (mostly labor cost, at a discounted $65 a hour). Fortunately, the Goodyear asymmetrical tires were almost new, so that saved some money, and it was a rust free car with 72K miles. Looks fantastic following my compound and wax job, runs fantastic too, though it did have a recall on the passenger seat airbag sensor (no charge)
