We managed to get £1300 as a trade in on our ZR when we bought the ZS (although I'm beginning to regret that now) so they do still hold their money better then the bigger Zeds. I think it is all down to the long term running costs, when dealing with older cars you tend to be dealing with more thrifty motorists who want something cheap to run. I used to go to car auctions a lot (my step-dad was a car dealer) and even back then always saw very nice big engined cars getting shoved through for peanuts.
Anyway I'm not complaining, had my ZT had a BMW badge on it I would probably have had to pay nearer £4k and every time I needed a spare part I'd need to take out a small mortgage!
