If you buy a car and drive it forever what's the point of a high resale value?
Me too. I don't really believe in resale value when it comes to cars that are "driven". When you buy something for investment, do you go around everywhere with it or do you keep it in a safe place? If the car isn't an economy car like a Honda Civic, then I think you need to do a "care and feeding" calculation of your "investment". If the insurance and maintenance are greater than your non-investment alternative, then your "investment" is a net loss.
