kelley Blue Book & the RX-8
According to my local paper Kelley Blue Book has come out with their top 2005 models that will best hold their values and the RX 8 is on the list, along with BMW 5 series, 350Z, MB CLK 320, Porsche Cayenne.

No offense, but this has been posted at least three different times on this forum.
Do a search... |
Sorry, did a search for Kelly Blue Book and came up with nothing recent.

Either way that's great news!!! Finally I bought a car that holds it's value well.

well, at the CURRENT moment as i type this, a new rx8 can sell for the same as a used RX8, talk about holding your value, forget about the resale value and enjoy the car

Why do you think RX-8 sales have been so slow? Not that I'm complaining, I like having a unique car. :D
I liked the Mini Coopers for a while, but suddenly they were all over the place. You can't go to the bathroom these days (at least not in the San Francisco Bay Area) without tripping over a Mini. |
Im not sure sales have really been that slow. Im seeing more and more of them. Dealers always say sales are slow when youre trying to trade a car in. Its how they get the best deals. KBB know what theyre talking about. That kinda research is the sole purpose of their existence.

Alot of the sales depend on location. Here in MN no one is about to buy a sports car when winter is just around the corner. Yesterday's paper had a 2004 loaded with 9k and asking price was $23,900. Quite a hit for a $33,000 vehicle thats only a year old. I'm sure this car would be worth more in a warmer climate.

Bottom line is that you will always get screwed when you trade in your car vs. selling it yourself.
