And the majority of Camry sales are to fleets,such as government and rental cars,thats why they have NO resale value.
Cars like Jetta,Euro ,and 6 are sold mainly to private buyers,and therefore have very strong resale values.

According to Redbook and carsales,as well as Wheels magazine,its resale is actually even better than the Euros ??/
ha compared to what? My Saab 9-3 Aero was $75 grand new in 2004, after substantial negotiation I got $22,000 for it when I traded for a Euro Luxury last year. And it had only done 45,000km!Quote:

bmw 320i i had was mixed, some gave me more than i got it for and some dealers less
i just find jettas are so much cheaper than competition? like for like models?
i find the same with Passat too, they lose value quick too
Saab and volvo lose value even quicker, just dont get it why though?
totally agreeQuote:

for trade ins, even if the car looks really good, the comment i got was flattering but their valuation is not :(
