You want a car with great resale or that could even appreciate over time? Then get the 6 figure and up cars that have limited production and limited buyers. For example. The Ford GT (yes the supercar) actually gained value over time from it's original retail price. Of course, limited production and limited market.
The old Gen 5 owners really got hit hard on resale value because I think the only buyers who would be into one at this point would be for the aesthetics and cheap prices, but certainly not the performance. The Gen 6 has trumped the old gen in every way (imo).
And yes, in general, foreign cars just tend to hold their value much better than American.
This of course is just my opinion. But hey, it is a forum after all.
Buy the car YOU want, the way YOU want it, and enjoy the hell out of it. I know I did and I don't regret a single thing. No matter what it may be worth tomorrow or a decade from now.
