All people who buy used cars should laugh at the folks who break them in for them. You'd be raped if you bought a Corvette in 2006 and tried to sell it now 2006 base Corvette: retail in 2006 43,700. avg Kelly BB value now 27k 2006 Z06: retail in 2006 64K. avg Kelly BB value now 36K My point is that resale value for almost all cars suck after they are a few years old. But at least for sports cars, they can bottom out as someone almost always wants them -- unlike a Camry or a Corolla which just go down and down until they hit the junkyard Given that you are buying a new car, resale value down the road is just one of many things to consider and depreciation is one of the prices you pay for the piece of mind you get with a new car, or the satisfaction of the desire to "have it now" Oh, and I wouldn't quite call the people who wait two years just to save a few bucks by buying it used "winners"
