GM, Ford, Chrysler, for the most part, have CRAPPY resale value. if u want good resale value get a Honda, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW. two years ago i traded in my 99' Toyota Solara with 60,000 miles for my 99' Grand Prix GTP with 25,000 miles...both had roughly same options except GP doesn't have leather. I didn't have to pay a cent, even taxes were covered cause the dealer knew that he could sell the Toyota for WAY more than they could ever get for the GP. I loved the Solara and it was super nice but it was just to damn slow, even with the V-6!! so that is why i got the GP... now i love the GP!!
