LoL!! The 80's early 90's were a interesting time.

And yep you can get just about anything you could need for these cars at fierostore.com. There actually is quite a following for these little cars, but still not a large value.

My Sl600 gets lots of looks, but so far no-one with similar enthusiasm has taken a photo of it that I know of

While I like both cars and would have a DB9 in a flash, something about the Aston Martin seems to attract more admiration than our Teutonic marvels!

The general rule is that a car is worth half of what you paid for it after 3 years. All cars depreciate at this rate unless it is a super exotic.

Or, conversely, a Honda Accord. Not sure a single rule applies. :/
