And don't expect that all pricey aftermarket customizing will make a vehicle more likely to retain value. "Sometimes . . . the very things that personalize the car for you can make it less desirable to a broad customer base when you sell it later," Vogelheim said.

damn it...

i want to buy a 350z in the spring but the 03's are about the same price as the brand new ones, hard to find any used ones in wisconsin. I didn't want to get a brand new one cause thats a ball breaker.

Most of the top 2005 model year vehicles expected to retain their value the best are luxury models, and two are from BMW and two are from Nissan.
Kelley Blue Book, which tracks vehicle worth, said six vehicles from luxury brands and specifically the 2005 BMW 5-Series and the BMW-built MINI Cooper, as well as the Nissan 350Z and Nissan-built Infiniti G35 Coupe, are likely to have lower depreciation than the norm.

Even though it holds the value well. People usually pay less than the actual value. Because if you trade it in, you get screwed. I went to a BMW dealer and asked how much to trade my perfect condition Z with 23k miles? They wanted only $21k. Thats way below the book value. I said to myself **** that ****!

Every dealer is going to offer you well below blue book for a trade in... They will raise there offer up if you argue with them.. Although its always best to sell the car yourself. On average you will get $2k to $3k more....

You might get a better trade in at a different dealer but they get you on the financing on a new car.
