How do you live with the poor resale value? I've lost $13k in 9 months! It may be different if you're buying it outright, but you still lose money on the deal bigtime.

I'll never buy a ford again for this reason, they just oversupply and dump new stock on the market at prices that undercut their previous buyers :(

Ouch! That's gotta hurt!

Just got my BAII as a runout deal, so hopefully that will offset some of that. But either way I guess I'll be looking to move into a newer one before the warranty runs out as well.

Unless I grow really attached...
