M2 owners have benefited from near zero depreciation over the past two years, but at some point, something has to give and prices will drop. I would buy an M2 if I thought I could drive it for 2 years (typically my fun cars don't last longer than that) and resale would only drop $5k, but if its $15-20k, I'll spend my money elsewhere. Nothing is a given, but I (and others) like to be well educated on pricing in order to make the best decisions as possible.

I understand not all care about this stuff like I do, that's fine... We all enjoy different aspects of shopping for and owning cars.
Buying cars is ALWAYS more fun than reselling them :-)
