I can image that having all those silly special editions would hurt the value. The only one that should matter is the top of the line, conventional models. Just giving it a different name and so forth does not really change the car. It's like they adapted that ridiculous collector's concept from those goofy "beany babies" and implemented on cars. Before you know it, they will have models that are flawed from the factory with parts missing and charge more for them because they are "special." "Yes, this is the '500' model because it has defective breaks, flat tires, bent rims, a cracked exhaust system, a dead battery, and no seat belts! That's an extra $5K to the price and remember that the minuet they are fixed the exclusiveness is gone and the "Lifetime Warranty" does not apply to the '500" model, and why is it named the '500' model you ask? Because that is how many we were able to build from the warped parts that were left over from our inventory!"
