I've never bought a foreign vehicle and am not worse off because of it. If you want to buy a foreign vehicle, then fine--buy it. I'm just telling you that there is nothing that requires you to do so, so don't complain about the dollar if you do.
Nothing is wrong with buying an American vehicle. I am just stating that according to JD Powers and Consumer Reports there is a difference in resale value of Imports vs Domestic and that is not just due to the fact that Imports are more expensive to begin with. Example would be Ford Focus vs Hunda Civic which would be within the same class. Civic retains 13% more value after 3 years and is also cheaper than the Focus. Also between the 2 the build quality is worlds apart. Just an example. Not saying that all imports are better than American. Just stating that some Americans weigh alot of things when buying consumer goods and value can be found in overseas products in some cases.
