At 4-5 years old, you are basically trying to sell/trade-in a vehicle at it lowest cost. The depreciation curve is extremely sharp up until that time and then it starts to slow down and eventually, if it's a low production, quality car, go back up. Just look at the honda s2000 as a perfect example of what the twins will do. You can basically sell a 10-year old s2000 with low miles in stock condition for what you paid for it. Once production ceases on the twins, which it most likely will in the near future, you can wait a few years and that value will go back up. People love nostalgia and 10-15 years from now, all the 20-somethings will be in their 30s-40s with a surplus of cash and wanting to relive their youth when they had an inexpensive car that was super fun to drive.
