KBB Value dropping drasticly

Disappointing to see how the ownership IQ has dropped like a rock as of late.


Front end variance on purchase price overwhelms any possible meaning the chart could have. It's not like we are picking apart the life cycle differences (last year of s2000) or allocating for anything else. Even kbb tracks an "fpp" stat you can use if you are too lazy to look up time based incentives.



If you actually care about such things, looking at lease residuals is more informative in many ways. It's a bit skewed by how hard the manufacturer is pushing sales, but they do the hard math so you don't have to.
