Resale value? What is that?

I currently drive an '02 SL purchased in late '01. The same Saturn
dealer that sold me the car invited me back to the dealership in the
fall of 2006 to attend the debut of the Aura. I was impressed by the
Aura. So I asked the salesman how much I would get for my '02 SL on a
trade-in. He told me ZERO.

I reminded him that I bought the car from same dealership (everyone at
the debut event were past customers). He said ZERO again. I'm
thinking, "not even $100 as a token of appreciation for my past
business and potentially more business??"

So, today, I still drive the '02 SL as it continues to run fine and I
figure it will easily last me another 5 years. GM had the idea to get
its past customers into the showroom to do some impulse buying. But
its lousy dealer's attitude just killed it.

I think I'll drive by this weekend to ask how much trade-in value I
would get for my '02 SL. I hope that salesman hasn't lost his job
yet.
