But you can get a better deal on the front end, so the resale is usually a wash and a shitty gauge to choose cars. No matter what you do, they all lose value(well except collector or exotic maybe). Some may hold a little better but in the end still lose. Choosing a car that is right for you is much more rewarding than one that may net you a 1k advantage 4 years later.
Note, this isn't to say that you didn't choose the car that best suits you, just my thoughts on resell value concerning something that in the end is a liability and not an investment.
