I'm really surprised the Mini is on there, since they are expensive (for what they are) anyways, and plus since they are kind of a 'specialty' car, you'd think the value would go way down. Its also interesting that those are all 'premium' cars.

ya, BMW has a commercial for the resale value award, although i haven't seen it on t.v. i see it on their site

First thing I noticed.

So how do you like your 05 Canyon?

Totally unrealistic considering the G35 Coupe hasn't been out for 5 years. I hate these stupid resale things, don't even get me started on them. My car is expected to hold 50-51% of its value after 3 years, not 5. I think at this point, a more realistic number would be close to 60% after 3 years, but definitely not 50% after 5 years.

I'm going to drive $120,000 worth of vehicles (both rear-wheel drive and 19 inch 35 profile tires) in 2 feet of snow with sub-zero temperatures, so salt can build up and rust and fall apart, I don’t think so. I like the truck though. It is a truck for winter, not a luxury car, I will never get any value out of it. That’s its purpose.

Why don't you come to Wisconsin for the winter and try and drive your car.

I was thinking about getting a 05 Tacoma which is going to be a bit bigger but I understand these will not be out until Feb-March 05. I am unsure about the new Dodge Dakota because of the thing with the wheels falling off of the Durango and I need 4 real seats which eliminates Ford. Not sure what to get?

I have been thinking about GMC/Chevrolet for a while, see this link.

44,200 OBO I really want an M3!!!! Shipping to the US is really not that expensive. The car has over 5000 miles, so there should not be an import tax either. Give your dad an excuse to come to Germany and drive on the autobahn before he takes it home.
