hmm- that does make a lot of sense too. Not a huge percentage of people put 28k miles on their car every year let alone trade it in yearly... And I've never gotten a dealer loaner car (Acura & Lexus) with more than 15k. I would assume that a "2" owner car will be worth less than a "1" owner car but I guess that the value difference is negligible in the real world.
