Kizashi Club

true, but when you look at a graph of price loss over time some manufactures have a relatively linear loss over time.
A 2008 subaru legacy is currently worth around half of what you paid for it.
A 2008 CTS will be worth about 1/3 what you paid for it. (price of a 2008 is basically the same as a used legacy)

Just a quick eyeball on http://cargraph.com/

I read this article on Jalopnik a while back that was pretty interesting. It discusses how cars lose value differently. The most shocking thing that it revealed was that in 10 years/120,000 miles, a Honda Civic is worth more than a BMW 3 Series despite the BMW costing nearly twice as much when new.
Generally speaking, European and domestic luxury cars lose value rather rapidly given most of the appeal of owning one is to have a new/newish one. Not surprisingly, most German luxury cars on the road are leased.
At least the Japanese ones tend to last a while without too many problems.

My point being, not car should be bought as an "investment" - they all lose BIG. Buy what serves your needs and you like and drive the shit out of it.

That explains why you've been rather quiet as of late.
Congrats on the new car. It must be a blast to drive given it has over twice the HP of the Kizashi.

Post some pics sometime. Enjoy the new ride.
