BMW 1 series value is holding up

[alanchan]

I've recently read a Japanese article regarding the 10 lowest deprication cars in Canada.
the 1 series is ranked #9 on the list.
it surprises me that none of the other BMW models are listed.
folks, you've made the right choice.

VW, can't remeber the name of the car but only sold in USA.
Mini was ranked #3 best
Honda CRV is 4th
RAV4 is 5th
G35/G37 is #6

I will get the list from my friend tonight.

where do i begin to tell you how wrong that statement is?!

I think it's crazy to try and anticipate the 1 series value in 2013 given the incredible change in cars right now, but I definitely think the value will hold up given the very high satisfaction reflected on this forum and other places.

Agreed, for a start off it's not just sold in the USA. Try including NZ, Australia, all of Europe...

And it bears little resemblance to a GTi other than the fact it is a Golf. Different engine, different suspension, different drivetrain, different seats and different interior trim.

Nice car though. I had the pleasure of thrashing one on an autobahn once

An M3 is a basically a 318d sedan with 2 doors & a V8 right?
