Owners must all support 8 series car values (archive)

Part of the participation required in order for all owners to benefit from 8 series values over time, requires that we must comply with maintaining reasonably high values when a car is made available for sale in any region.
Owning a legend /future enigma requires that all prospective 8 series owners "pay the admission" price of owning such a car, and hence, the value of our cars retain appropriate levels over time.
This requires that underselling not occur to prospective buyers. This will necessarily create the market conditions that the car deserves and will in itself create added interest in the eyes of BMW themselves as to what the 8 series really represents.

I see too many prospective buyers hoping to land a deal of a lifetime with the odd owner bowing to the need to sell, buyers making too much out of the mileage issues as leverage when a well maintained car of this build quality is normally quite immune to reasonable mileage disparity between vehicles as far as quality of what you are buying is concerned.

Any thoughts to be shared here ?
