I have been following 2008 Teslas on Ebay and it appears that prices have stabilized. A 2008 just sold for $76,101. That is about $2000 higher than I have seen average over the last 6 months.

Well false alarm as it appeared a nice 2008 with hard top and 240V charger just went for $67,601. Tesla | eBay That is the second one I have seen go for less than $70K and there seems to be many around for sale on e-bay. We will see but even if it does not hold it's value, the car is still the most fun I have had sitting down.
The EBay page indicated it is VIN 389.
VIN 389 also referenced here...
...the car is still the most fun I have had sitting down...
Resurrecting this old thread. Anyone have any data on if prices for roadsters has started rising lately? any opinions as to collectibility of the car now?
I feel pretty confident that the car will be desirable... there won't be more of them and it will always be seen as the first real viable, long-range EV and with great performance as well.
Just not sure when we'll see that in the resale prices.
Personally, I think the Roadster 2.5 is the only version that has the most potential of rising with time. I say that only because some of the earlier models had some Gremlins.
But as others have noted, yeah, buying any car thinking the price may rise is not a good strategy. If you love the car and want to drive it, buy it.

What gremlins? The PEM on the 1.5 are built like tanks and don't clog like the 2.x's, also the 2.5 is the same as the 2.0 except for the front nose and rear diffuser. The early Roadsters will be the one's that will be worth more for collectors, VPs, Sigs, etc... which are all 1.5's. As for 2.x's it would be the sports that hold value.
