Better long term value - Coupe or Cab

My dealer has offered me a list price Coupe or Cab deal. Any opinion on the better value long term? My wife says the gull wing doors make the coupe more collectable vs. the cab. Cabs tend to hold better value, at least in CA.

Thanks,

MB

I'd bet on the roadster. But that's just me.

Added bonus: you can drive your investment open!

I agree with your wife, think back to original gullwing and SL Roadster.

I say the coupe will retain it's value better as its the proper reflection of the iconic gullwing.
