Redbook trade-in for a 2012 320d is $40,400 to 44,700, depreciating based on base price of $60,900. Don't you just love how dealers use Redbook?

It makes me wonder how they legally can get away with it, I mean looking at the bigger picture, there should almost be a disclaimer when you buy a car saying, a base price of $60,900 is what we depreciate your car on and if you spend another $20,000 on options, that will be $0 once you drive away and have zero reflection on your future value?
So what intrigues me,, is the full circle customers.... with guaranteed future value? who's been given a guaranteed value for three years time, if they decided to buy the car out right. Based on my cars value now after 12 months, after 3 years it would be a value $10-$15,000? Yeah right, more like $40,000 after three years?
Annoyed!
