(...) "The day you buy it is the day you sell it". (...)
Totally agree with that statement. But I personally prefer driving a car that I really like (even if I get less money for it in the end), than driving a car with a good resale value, that I don't like.
For example, my daily driver is a yellow Fiat Stilo. With the argument above, I would be driving a silver Golf.
Sunny greetings from sunny Luxembourg,
