Most now days view cars as disposable items, because that's really all they are. One major repair, what most consider a fender bender, and the vehicle is totalled.
For example, I've seen cars driven into the salvage yard due to a transaxel leak. The repair would cost more than another used car of the same age.
Another example is a newer car that hit another newer car and pushed it into the rear of our '98 Suburban. The other two cars were totalled. Our Suburban was repaired for about $2600. Had we owned a newer car, or a Suburban with the plastic bumpers and 'crumple zones' rather than a full frame and a metal bumper, the damage to the rear would probably have totalled it as well.
With that in mind, bad as I hate to say it, if you want to sell a 'newer' vehicle, you're going have to all but give it away to get it sold. But, if you've got something older, and reliable, you can get a much better price because a buyer for those type vehicles cares about that kind of thing, and is willing to pay for it.
