Yep! So what!
Resale value only concerns me at resell time. When do you plan to sell your
car? Will you get $900 worth of enjoyment out of it between now & then?

If my SHO is paid off, and barely depreciating at all (-$300/yr) what's it
really costing me?
To replace the car would cost me $2000-3000-4000 a year!
So what's wrong with spending $1000-2000-3000 per year to keep an old car
fresh so I can enjoy it and avoid a new car payment?
