Maybe it's 4 years then, I remember reading a Consumer reports article on best resell value models and the mini was at the top. They mentioned 50% but perhaps it was 4 years. It wasn't less than that.

If you look at the link I just posted, 5 year retained value is estimated to be 53% for the Mini, you weren't wrong.

i got my used 04 6sp gt for $20,400. i loved that someone else paid most of the depreciation for me. having said that:

CLAM DOWN PEOPLE AND ENJOY YOUR CARS!

if you wanted to invest in a car, you should have gotten an old classic car, fixed it up and sold it for a profit, but obviously there was something about the rx8 that you wanted so freakin' enjoy it. if you really want a return on your "investment," park it for 30 years or so, keep it in good condition and sell it at a profit to an enthusist around 2036 or so. i'm sure they'll pay top dollar for a well kept 8 with under 50k miles on it.

the resale value of a 13 year old rx7 gt is still around $10k, and people are still managing to get $15-$20k for them depending on the condition. they're not going to make the 8 forever.

if you're letting something like this come between you and the enjoyment of your car, then you probably shouldn't have bought one in the first place.
