if you want to go faster, you are going to use more fuel and experience more wear and tear on the car.. that's just the way it is

Yeah but that's a BMW X5.. excellent resale value..

Agree but trade in value is what the dealer will give you I.e. wholesale value. you can get more privately extract.. average kms 18,000 - 22,000 Trade in price guide* $29,100 - $32,600 National average price - private sale* $32,000 - $36,500 Price when new (RRP) $46,350 This will drop in the next month again with the BF coming out. Dealers are already advertising BA II 6Spd BRAND NEW for under $39,990 this will drive values down even more. The dealers dont do themselves any favours in the long term by discounting the cars like this. Expensive Daewoo is the same. The Aussie cars will never have a decent resale value if they keep this up.. anyway that's my whinge..

P.S. I am not a WRX advocate, this is a real question !

Just looking in redbook at the wholesale vaulr of a 2004 XR6T BA Mk II.. scarry stuff.. Price when new (RRP) $46,350 Trade in price guide* $29,900 that's $16,450 lost in 12 months or 36%. Why are they not holding thier value?? like for example the WRX
