I did a search and didn't find this article, linked via the LA Times, on the Top Ten/Worst Ten residual value cars. We are number 8 at 59% of value after 36-months (that was the measure). While there, you can also check the worst 10 (17% by Chevy Tracker).

We follow some impressive stock...911-GT, Benz-CLK, Z8, NSX,911-turbo. Thoughts? [Damn I hate winter.]

That's interesting. The lowest values are truly low, eh?

 

Residual value is based on the car's MSRP. Many of the S2000's that were purchased more than 36 months ago cost much more than the MSRP. I paid $34,394 to get one of the first ones. Others owners paid even more.

All depends on where ya live. In the north east a WRX that is 3 years old with 60,000 miles are going for around $15,000. One that has around 36,000 miles are going for around $18,000 easy. Not bad for a car with a $24,000 msrp. Also Good luck finding a MINI S for $14,000. Thats a dream. I'd be surprise if you could find a regular mini with 36,000 miles for that price. Mini "s" Around here are going for around 20k with 36,000 miles!

 

Thats nice and all, but go try and trade your S in and see what you get. Unfortunatley the current recession and new car auto incentives are absolutely killing the resale on all used cars. Especially sports cars in the winter.

 

Oh well. Guess I'll have to keep it.
