Why do you think that is?

Also, why do you think RAV4s cost more then Tiguans?
Perhaps because people are willing to pay more?
I wonder why that is?
Maybe VW likes us soooo much they are willing to cut their profits by thousands per vehicle?

Yeh, I am not disputing that people are willing to pay more for some vehicles whether they are worth it or not. My point is: why does that matter if one keeps car for a long time? Just bcs. car has higher resale value does not mean it is better in any aspect. People have different expectations from different cars.

Because people simultaneously keep their super reliable cars till the wheels fall off, and are constantly trading them in for newer ones thanks to the high resale value

It's simple:
My car is RED-er than your white car.

Now existential question:
If my vehicle never saw Red Line, do I get excommunicated from Bob is the my car is better than yours forum?

WOW!!! I just checked them out. You'd almost be a fool not to at least look into these. There were a few Sportage's near me (under 10 miles away) with 30K miles for $14,800. Insane!

The other thing to note about this is that these companies like Enterprise, Hertz, etc. only sell directly the cars that gave them no problems and are in mint condition. They sell/auction off the rest to other dealers.

Source???

They have no incentive to do so, if they can be sold at market value. Wholesale or auction will net them less profit.
