I'm surprised the good resale value needs any proving. The number of used diesels will remain small. The price of fuel will keep going up and there's just no way to get 25-30 mpg in an SUV that is not a diesel. The engine will last forever, too.

Using the Diesel Toureg and Jetta as a guide, resale value for our diesel X5's should remain quite good as well.
