I would think resale would be slightly better on the coupe, since there is more demand for coupes in general. However, in places with great weather, the roadster might

i've always seen the prices higher on the roadsters than the coupes. I've never seen a cheaper roadster.

It depends what this guys is talking about. Are we talking about depreciation % or absolute values.

Roadsters are always more expensive from what I have seen. If you have to ask which one to get, you should get the roadster. You will regret not being able to be top down.

Roadsters are more expensive since they are convertibles and have extra H/W & structural support, etc. (and maybe also for the fun factor!
) But I think percentage wise for depreciation, the coupe would hold the value a little better over the long run.

I would rather have a coupe, but that's just me! I personally think the roadsters are hideous.

roadsters cost more, so in theory they would be worth more over the long run

I had a hard top Z and sold it to buy my current drop top. I love it!
