Default Residual Value

Time for a new topic. I just traded a 2009 C6 with 10,000 miles and was disappointed in the trade in allowed. The car was as new. I purchased a 2012 BMW Z4. The BMW web site even has a section which speaks to residual value. BMW is rated as one of the highest residual value vehicles on the market. Just another reason to raise the bar and buy a premium vehicle. I don't think GM or Corvette has any posted information on their web site regarding residual value even on the $130,000 ZR1.

Those on a mission to simply bash Corvettes while promoting and even attempting to justify their lame, slow BMW choice need not clutter this section up with their personal agenda.
