It is nice to quote the sticker for the Z in a magazine article but unless you put a deposit down when FDR was in office, you will not sniff $65K.... Outside of one or two of those cars on that list, I wonder how a Z at $10K to $15K over sticker will be valued/depreciate against the others listed in say two years ? 
I know, future value/depreciation has nothing to do with it....

No, actually many of those cars would be hard to obtain at sticker price, so it's irrelavent anyway...
