When I am ready to buy a new vehicle, I've generally driven my old one until the tires are ready to fall off. I don't think I've ever traded in a vehicle that was worth more than $1000. So I could care less about resale value.

But if you're one of those crazy people that trades in every 2 years, I could see where it might matter to them.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
