Buicks and re-sale "value?" ROTFLMAO.
Maybe in "Buy only UAW Made Cars" states like Michigan, but here on the west coast, Buicks depreciate just as fast if not faster than the Koreans.

There is a difference between resale value and inherent value. For example, nobody wants to drive a 15 year old korean car, it is trashed by then, but a 15 year old midsized or larger buick, if cared for, garage kept so it isn't rusting out, is still a nice ride for those old enough they don't pretend to be a race car driver (over 30 yo). The engine and transmission tends to outlast the life of the car so they ultimately end up in the junkyard only after a collision that totals them, or years later when everything is rusting out like the exhaust, fuel, and brake lines. Same can be said about midsized and larger pickup trucks.

Is a newer european or japanese car nicer? Yes, but it is a much worse value too to keep rebuying new cars before you need to. That doesn't make it a "bad" decision though, everyone has the freedom to buy whatever they want.
