i'll agree chevy's resale isn't the best, but they still hold better than saturns. i guess it all depends on how much you pay for the car in the first place. the chevy i had before my malibu stickered at 17.5 and i payed, out the door, 10. my black malibu stickered at 26 i payed out the door 20.5. i figure that what i saved on the sticker price takes car of the first year hit on the resale value. after that the drop isn't so severe. in a perfect world i'd drive it for the next 10 years and then resale value doesn't mean a think. but like i said, that's in a perfect world.
