Here's an idea: stop selling your cars. If we all stay happy and content with our vehicles and stop selling them every time a new model or gadget comes out then the value might stabilize a little. Just remember back to why you bought the car you own, go clean her up, go for a drive and fall in love again. These cars don't change all that much after the new car smell is gone.

I plan on holding on to this CLK for a good long while.

Yeah, it's funny how even a 507HP car seems faster after a great detailing.

Yep when the amg's hit the 30k mark all the low bidders get them and then you can chalk that car up to being way play'd out. thats why i dumped mine last yr.
