Like others have said, the first-year depreciation has killed any chance of trade-in for me for at least a few years. The good news is that, according to
Edmunds True Cost Calculator, it levels off a bit after the first few years and I should be able to get ahead of it.
That being said, my plan is to trade it in for a new WRX in a few years. The FiST is a great car, but I can't see it being practical
for me or my family in a few years.
