Yeah I figured I'd take a hit. Price was around $80k and dealers list used ones similar around $73k. And of course they make money always on both ends of a deal. I am catching up as I didn't take out a 6-7 year loan. Goes against the grain to do a loan for that long on an item I doubt I will still own so on a 5 year loan it IS getting paid down now faster than depreciation. Maybe I need to just live with it for 2 more years and see if it's worth trading.
