Kelley Blue Book - Best 2005 Value Holders

[chaser]

KKB Best 2005 Value Holders (http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/ke.kb.sp?kbb.DC;;DC001;&20010&395&article_2005hold value;article)

Not a big surprise that Mazda 3 didn\\\'t make it to top 10 since it\\\'s not so popular in the States. But I wonder how could RX-8 make the list while 1) Mazdas don\\\'t usually hold their value better than other imports like Toyota and Honda; 2) RX-8\\\'s rotary generally costs more to maintain and repair.

yeah.. but there\'s the reasoning for it :)



Which Vehicles Just Missed the List and Really Missed the List
According to the Kelley Blue Book editorial team, several newly introduced 2005 model vehicles are expected to retain a high percentage of their value looking five years into the future, but fall just short of making this year\'s list. Vehicles just missing this year\'s top 10 list include the Chevrolet Corvette, the Mazda 3 Hatchback and the Volkswagen GTI.


also.. poor bluntman :p



It\'s easy to sell a white, black or silver car. Some variations of red and blue are o.k. Pick a green, purple, yellow or orange vehicle and you will likely hurt your chances of getting the maximum value when selling or trading the car in later.


thankfully no green mazda3 in canada..
