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.
If they see value, then they should not complain about the dollar. They need to factor the value of the dollar into their calculation of whether there is value.
The reality is that it's primarily the Euro that the dollar is losing ground to. It's more that the Euro is appreciating than it is that the dollar is depreciating. The EU has adopted a tight monetary policy, and that has made its currency appreciate. It's also made their economy stumble.
