Trade-In value for a 2002 S2000 with 5k miles is around $24,625. Retail value(what the dealer charges) for that exact same car is $32,425. See the difference??? So if that guy trades in his 2003 Accord, he is gonna end up paying some $ to make up the difference between the used Accord Trade in value the dealer offers, and what the cost of the New accord.... the value of a new car drops tremendously for the first owner, its ridiculous.
Oh my God, a logical post by Samson that cleared things up for me

Thanks bro, didn't even think about that for some reason.
