Easy decision.

Bought a new BA XR8 in Dec 03 for $50k sold it in June 06 for $28k. $22k in depreciation in 28 months, never again. Depreciation has been an issue for lots of brands as well as ford.

In 48000ks I had replaced:

cylinder head
power steering pump
Diff
Auto
rear shockers
front end removed and spacers fitted
2 new front brake rotors
throttle control switch
timing chain lugs
and had a traction control problem at the time I sold it

Getting many of these problems fixed under warranty was like pulling teeth. No more blue oval for me. EVER.
