A (gently) used 2017 Optima can still fetch $12/$14k on resell. It just doesn't have that Powertrain warrany

I'm lost on that concept, when we buy cars it's for "a long time", not the resale. So we're still driving the 2006 Sorento, and even the 2002 Silverado (now that it's fixed), and this older son is still driving his 2006 Taurus, and the new 2017 Sierra, I hope, will be around in 2030+.
Hell, if you aren't a every-two-years car swapper, having a car that depreciates help on taxes....
And yeah, what I don't spend in recurring $500 a month car payments I spend in SCUBA gear. It's just wants and priorities man...
