The resale value of my car has gone to crap (99 V6 Cougar) which I bought new. Even the newest ones have a bad resale value. I am keeping my car till it falls apart. I've taken really good care of it and it will last me a long time. I almost have it paid off so buying another car of the same type and going into a bigger debt and pretty much throwing away the money I've already invested in my current car because of resale value. Plus if I decide to sell this "newer" manual car down the line (maybe it has major problems!?), I am going to lose again with the horrible resale value. Believe me, I've already looked at the situation and weighed everything. But it's not like I am going to go out tomorrow and start the conversion, I just wanted a little info of what it entailed.
