Not to hijack, but this rang true: My mother just traded in her '04 Caddy CTS, loaded and in *mint* condition (I mean it, it is basically brand new) w/50k miles and the Caddy dealer dropped her to $12,500 TIV. On a $36,000 list car. If Caddy is telling their buyers that their car is worth 1/3 the list price after 4 years, they're not going to last long competing with the imports.

She ended up shopping dealers, got $14,500 trade-in and a new CTS. Wonder how that one will tank over the years...
