Hi all,
Very often I read things like "you should add the twin charger for better resale value", or "choose multi-coat white over regular white for resale value". Are people actually aware that is is completely wrong? If you add, say, the double chargers for $1500, do you really think you'll be able to sell the car for more than $1500 more? Of course not. Maybe you can sell it for $1000 more or something, but that ultimately means locking in a sure loss of $500! Every option you choose when buying the car because of "resale value" will be a sure loss for you.
Things are of course very different if you want a double charger because you can charge faster, or if you get multi-coat white because you like it better than regular white, but the "add it for resale value" argument is just plain wrong.
Just my 2 cents.
