Try looking at auction prices vs actual price paid, rather than comparing Msrp to KBB excellent.

The number of cars sold for KBB's excellent price can probably be counted on one hand.

Try actually selling the car, then re-evaluate



EDIT, for fun, here is depreciation as a percentage of MSRP and average purchase price.


MSRP ||5 year depreciation (per NADA) ||residual (vs MSRP) ||average purchase price new ||TC residual

2011 370z
$31,450 || $18,302|| 0.418060413 || $31,296 || 0.4200
GSR
$34,095 || $19,204|| 0.436750257 || $33,080 || 0.4497
MR
$38,090 ||$21,302 || 0.440745603 || $35,380 || 0.4686



All based on NADA to keep things fair
