I agree with Jason here. Resale value is not even a consideration when
I buy a car. Initial cost, fun to own, and reliability are the only
real factors in my purchases. When you're younger there's also the
"chick factor" to consider. The only reason that Honda's have better
resale values in the long run is that they cost way more up front.
Part of the "fun to own" factor is that it didn't cost a whole lot of
money up front. A paid off early car is always more fun (and can be
played with more extensively) than one that is still being paid for.
Besides, by the time I can actually afford to road race my car, not only
will it be paid off but it'll be elligible for the Improved Touring
classes. Trunk kits be damned then. ;^)
See you on course.
