BTW, those estimates are pretty amazing if you think about it. Used cars usually lose about 45% of their value in the first year alone, regardless of mileage. If the BRZ had followed the normal depreciation curve for used cars, we should be seeing the early years around $10K now. But instead they're holding their value in the mid to high teens.

Yet people here whine about how much value the cars are losing. I even noticed one of the moderators complain about it recently. I'm carrying a note on mine, and I surely didn't expect to have $9K to $10K in equity in the car at this point.

On a different matter:



I realize that's your username, but my first thought when I saw that pic was, "That guy thinks that's an Impreza?"
Fair point. Well said.
