Jumping off the Diesel Bandwagon - UPDATED

No one ever seems to factor in resale value when talking diesel vs gas. I'm not talking hypothetical higher diesel resale values. I'm talking about the fact that the while the diesel costs more, it's naturally worth more. Same as paying for all the bling like leather, nav, 20" wheels, sunroof, etc. Those options are all figured in when you trade in or sell. Same goes for the diesel option. Just because the diesel option is purchased doesn't mean it's just money down the drain. IMO it's no different than buying a Laramie Longhorn over the SLT or Tradesman. Come selling time the more expensive truck will sell for more money.
No one buys a diesel and 3 yrs latter sells it for the same price as a gasser.
