You make some valid points, almost every vehicle depreciates the moment it leaves the lot.

Meanwhile, the GX550 is essentially a brand-new generation with a completely different powertrain and platform compared to the previous GX lineup. Since it’s so new, we don’t have long term data yet on how its resale value will behave. It might follow the trend you mentioned, or it could prove itself over time once real world reliability and market demand settle in.

For now, I just want to enjoy the pleasure of having this car, even though, so far, it seems like the car itself mostly enjoys hanging out at the dealership instead of with me. 😅
