Personally do NOT purchase for resale value, but what it will cost in the long haul. Looooong haul as in decades
That depends on the overall volume and that has to do with the
popularity...that drives volume...that drives parts/services/etc
pricing decades later
Not saying Ecoboost is bad...just a wait and see...in and on "my"
metrics....IMHO of course
I keep mine a long time too. But I have a different train of thought on the matter. My fear is that it won't be the mechanical components, but rather the electronics that will break down and not be available when these vehicles are getting into their 20's. In that regard it's a rather level playing field between diesels, NA gas, and forced induction gas engines. Only today's most popular (not necessarily the best) engines will have electronic component availability.
In that regard, I suppose you could argue that "popular" today will define "best" in 2030...
