2003 coupes in good condition are going for like 18k aren't they? There's a 2003 at my local dealership with 70k miles going for 20k even. Our cars are great at holding value.

The 2005 is also on the KBB top 10 for holding value.

the only cars on the best 10 list that are reletively accurate are the mini cooper, and the XB realisitically. The BMW M3 is up there too right now, demand is high for the older E46...

a few cars that hold value better than some listed (and which didn't make the list) are Honda accord, Honda civic, Honda FIT, Toyota Camry, etc...

good post, but i'd trust consumer reports, KBB, or any other mainstream write up first IMO

The latest issue of Car and Driver has a list of the best cars (new & used) for $25,000 of which the Supra is one of them
those are actually appreciating in value

sigh...classic status in 10 years.....sometimes i wonder if our Gs would be able to obtain that status

I'm surprised there's not a Lexus in that top 10.
