In my entire car history I think I have traded in one car that had more than a $1000 trade-in value. It was a red Saturn SC that I owned for two years, and just couldn't take it any longer. My last two daily drivers (one purchased new, one purchased one year old) had almost 300,000 miles on them when I "traded" them in. No regrets on anything I added to them.
As the previous owner of a red Saturn SC2 who had the car less than 2 years I can 100% understand..

It was my first GM purchase and I have not considered another outside a Corvette.

And I also learned the hard way that GM/Saturn cars depreciate like the Titanic... I was spoiled with Japanese cars.
