I get it you are a fan boy and that is OK. But constant baseless accusations and antagonizing does not make your arguments sound. Especially when you learn about depreciation the hard way. (sorry, there I go again). You want an investment? Here is a tip, buy some stock or municipal bonds, not a car. :AH-HA_wink: T bills with quarterly compound, very sound.
You certainly have a lot to say about the matter but your point about about different cars depreciating differently is so glaringly obvious and misleading considering you nestled it inside a larger gripe I have to wonder about about your motivation. Not too hard mind you but just enough for a quickie. You made a bad decsion (hard to believe) once and now not ever again? And that is not hyperbole as I used to encounter these types on a daily.
Depending on how high the pedestal I say your patience with Honda or whomever will wear thin but i say that with a slight hesitation. They seem to be virtually flawless for you like so many others that only needed a new transmission or had to replace a sludgy engine, but other than that are perfect and can't wait to get another.
Your true colors are showing with this one but is it personal or something other?
Again though there is a lot of people who seem to question your authorit-ay so by all means continue to shine on.
