It's really disappointing to see that people today can't speak to information, be it news like Baldwin being charged for his shooting on a movie set, or car prices, or sports scores without trying to interject some derogatory comment about some news source.
If anyone is really interested in the value of CNN you'll need to use financials and stock prices of Time Warner, but I doubt that was really the question. And, obviously, someone thought there was value to that reporting since they clicked on it, looked at it and passed it on here as a reference.
Consumer vehicles and commercial vehicles are in different worlds.
Consumers will buy vehicles to fit their needs, then desires and even out of vanity, when those aspects change, so do their vehicles.
Commercial vehicles also fit a need, but the fact that they are depreciating assets in service will be viewed with a profit motive.
Depreciation is an accounting function in businesses and the rules vary depending on the size and price of which type of depreciation can be used. The time period will dictate when a commercial vehicle reaches its full-service life and when to sell it. This is generally well passed the average trade-in time for consumers.
Another point, IMO, personal vehicles are more likely to lack proper maintenance on the average than commercial fleet vehicles. If I were looking at say, 2 F-350s, one owned by an individual that had 60,000 miles and a commercially owned fleet truck with 90,000 miles, price being about 5 to 6,000 less for miles, I'd take the commercial vehicle, especially if it had been owned by government or a large corporation like AT&T.
Saying too, that it is important to keep good maintenance records on expensive vehicles, the next buyer may pay a premium for the better maintained vehicle.
I suppose after manufactures get all the chips they need and more inventory comes on line, prices will be corrected.
