Very, very true.
But I will add that at 200,000km for a VZ, it is more likely around $1,500, ($3,000 if you can barter and bang like a devil!) I was not going to accept $1,240 on my VZ trade-in (195,000) for the swanky-lanky SV6. It was going to be $3,000, and that is the way it was!! We all needed a gin+++ after all that wrestling...
The fancy piano-black look is a bugger for attracting fingerprints and dust and dirt (the finish used in the VF n some trim, and some higher-spec VZs). An auto-detailer could do it with a specialised finish with a high-gloss wax finish (and it will cost a bit).
