yeah...it's a tough call to make. if what happened to the resale value of an oldsmobile happens to pontiac, then I'm pretty sure I'll be negative the entire term...but you've got a point about the break-in Temming. It's a hard call to make...but I just don't like the fact that it's not a convertible.
it handles great and it goes fast...but it's still not what I'm used to.

Unless you are buying a Jag or a bmw then you don't have to worry about maintenance issues.

CPO BMW is an excellent service. You get the remainder of the free maintainence plan, and everything is still covered. If your car is in the shop you get a loaner. You don't get that with CPO Honda. The only german car I would give no consideration to buying used/CPO is a VW (sorry tim ;P)
