For me, it's literally the only time to consider the trim level. Capabilities over badges don't sort themselves out until the car enters a classic-phase. Using the previously mentioned Fox Body 'stang example, it wasn't until well after the car was old that people started to care about the notch-back 5.0L not-labeled GT. Through the cars run and a full decade after the "better badged" car sold at better values.Many, but not all. I didn’t select my trim level based on residual value though...
Or, if you want to use the other mentioned example, the Mk V GTI and the Jetta Wolfsburg 2.0T have vastly different values and are the same exact car with different badges and trunks.
