the typical 2006 vogue with 40k miles that msrp'd for $75k is going for $40k right now, while the typical 2006 RRS that msrp's for about $60k is going for about $36k right now. shouldn't there be more of a difference? why is that? i was entertaining the idea of getting an RRS for my wife and making my HSE full sized my DD, but if i'm going to be paying almost enough for a full sized it seems silly. I'd rather just get another big one! wassssup?
why does it seem like the RRS holds it's value more?

I noticed that also, and I think one of the reasons is because the RRS has only been out since 06, so the design is a little bit fresher and has more street cred than the RR, which has been out since 03. There are a lot of tired looking Mark IIIs on the road already, which diminishes the perceived value of the model. But like you, I agree that the full size is the superior vehicle. It has that tall aristocratic "to the manor born" demeanor and far plusher interior appointments, although most of the people I know prefer the more aggressive styling of the Sport.
That's generally the case with all brands. The top of the line models tend to have the lowest residuals. I think part of it is that you have a lot of other options (new and old cars) at the $45-60k price range which is what a new $100k car will be worth in three years.
Absolutely true. The RR is 2002 or 3 of origin, and the RRS is much fresher car.
A normal median would work here.
MRSP RR / All quantity of 2002 or 3 (I am not sure) - 2009 comparing to MRSP RRS / 2005 or 6 - 2009 is really different.
Do new buyers of RR really feel the difference between 2003 or 2007?
No. I don't think so.
