Why did convertibles get so expensive?
Whang Chung User ID: 78159618 United States 03/02/2021 10:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Why did convertibles get so expensive? Five years ago I was looking at a small convertible for a second car to cruise in. I could get a low mile 2005 Chrysler Crossfire for about 12,000. Today, I saw a low 2005 Chrsyler Crossfire and they wanted 17,000. Same car...now its five years older. Same with Mazda Miatas. I used to see them and you could get a nice older one for 10,000 - 12,000. Now you would be lucky to find one for 18,000. I am talking clean low mile used convertibles. Prices are through the roof.

Used to be easy to get an old vette or mustang cheap. Not now.

Convertibles have always held value. Quoting: Icey This is more than held value. You used to be able to find an older convertible that someone just drove on weekends, so it would be low miles...and they traded very reasonably. Not the case anymore.
