I am curious as to the resale or estimated value over time on these. It seems that people like them A LOT but do you think it will be something like the RX-7? I looked it up and it held to about half of its value over a 6 year period. That is excellent. The highest half value time was 7 years - Porsche.

50% of MSRP in 3.5 yrs like most sports cars and highend vehicles.

My residual after 4 years is about 20,000 which if proves to be accurate, then the Rx8 should depreciate quite well

when you say depreciates quite well...do you mean it doesn't depreciate much over time?

Basically, because they are "estimating" that after 4 years it will only have lost 40 % of its value, which if this turns out to be true, will mean that the car holds its value well. Whether or not this actually happens is a whole different story.
