Resale Value

[mustardjohn]

My point is that the two cars hold value about the same. Have heard a lot about Mustang not holding value like Toyota. I make the assumption here that the numbers are at least consistent if not correct absolutely or regionally. So you pay ~$3K more for the Toyota and you get marginally better retention of value and better gas miles.

I will give up the gas milage and 2-3% better value retenion for the lower orignal price and incrediably better prformance of the GT any day of the week. I really want a GT.

Have not added in the difference in interest on the $3K that you would pay if you financed.

GT Acura Diff
MSRP 21205 24350 3145
Invoice 19292 21950 2658
KBB 12800 15150 2350
% Retention 63% 66% 2%

Just trying to use some data to discuss resale value versus just hearing the statement that Toyota is better than Ford on resale.
