Same reason the Mini Cooper is holding its value.

I read another list online.

1. Mini Cooper
2. Infiniti G37
3. BMW 1 series

10k in 5 years? Is it just me or does that seem A$$ low? Crap, I think I'll be holding on to this car for a while if thats the case. Actually, check that, I'll buy a second one to have for parts in 5 years if their only 10k!

i thinkt hey did 37% of entry level price unoptioned. i think it'll be higher with most of the optioned versions being several thousand more

Yeah, especially when I sold my 2005 Civic Coupe EX this past May for $11,500. I bought it new for $17,000. And, it was a dealership that paid that much!

Yeah sorry bout the unnecessary concern. It was 37% or so and it was in the top 10. I think they used the base for a 128i. Should have mentioned that.

Gray135i · 09-01-2008, 07:08 PM

Heck, my 02 MINI would still go for 16000+ after 6-7 years... I think the 10k would be closer to 20K with an optioned 135i.

Sounds great. I'm having a tough time deciding how having Dinan software installed will affect resale value.

ky_soldier · 09-01-2008, 09:43 PM

not sure how a viper got in there? the R8 would have topped the list, but ALG won't quote residuals for it. 1 year old cars with several thousand miles are bringing MSRP +$20-30k

gargoyal · 09-01-2008, 10:30 PM

take a close look it is the 128 not the 135.

Engine: Six-cylinder, 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower

over the years it is rare that gasoline turbos hold their value well. 135 owners should not get too excited
