If I were you I would continue to buy whatever sled makes you happy and not worry about other peoples resale.Better go back and re check those numbers, I just looked in the for sale section, seems the first 3 or 4 Youll see are asking 11.5 ish, and maybe are sold. You're buddy was asking 11.5 not sure what he got, maxwell asking 11.3 , but that's probably about 2 grand for the autographed hood and he's probably got his picture on the sides. the rental fleet is 9500 for choice.
They are certainly becoming closer than they used to be and yes I think it would be disappointing to be paying more and getting the same, so I agree there should be a difference, but it's getting skinny.
