Man, I guess it's a byproduct of having a family and being older, but being 22 and single, I could give a rat's *** about resale value! Who cares? I buy my cars for ME and know going in they are NOT an investment. I am going to lose money. So? It makes me happy. I don't care about selling it down the road to get the next hottest thing. When I get my 10/11 I will probably own it for 8-10 years. It won't be worth much at that time, so it doesn't matter to me.
No warranty, on the other hand, I AM concerned with. Either way I would leave my car mostly stock until the warranty is out. Where I live, it just isn't worth it for me to have the new 5.0, UNLESS the '10 I'm looking at sells. Then I will go for it.
But I understand that not everyone's situation is the same, so I try not to generalize. If you guys are so concerned about how much your car is going to be worth in 3 years when the new one comes out, then by all means go for the 11. It will surely have a higher resale value. That notion isn't even on my radar though.

Mark my words...to my grave. Been driving a 95 4-cyl Wrangler for over 10 years now and I'm not getting rid of it. And the new Mustang excites me a lot more than an old 4-cyl Wrangler that doesn't even have A/C.
I've only ever loved 2 other cars...my 99 Cobra, that I sold out of necessity, and my 86 5.0 Capri, that I sold after getting the Cobra, a sale that I regret to this day. Wish I still had the 'ol 5.0, warts and all.

I'm also hoping that some of the features filter down into the GT in the next gen + MyFord Touch.
I want to see how they all play out.

I've got my eye on a 2010 with all the options I want, but the only problem it's going to have to be shipped in because it's approx. 700 miles away. After shipping costs, it almost equals what I expect a 2011 with the same options to cost. If the 2010 isn't available when I head into the dealer, I'll probably end up ordering a 2011.
The question is, should I try better than x-plan price on the 2010? MSRP on the car is 38,160, I'm paying 39000 out the door, including the shipping with x-plan pricing and 0% financing, no rebates. It's the 0% financing that's got me hooked on the 2010 right now.
