I always hear that Toyota commercials give a 'better' resale value but the original purchase price is always 'better' as well if you know what I mean. So what does 'better' really mean in the overall scheme of things. Does it mean they hold their value more compared to the purchase price ?

Obviously not the same as commercials, I have a mate that owns 9 or 10 fast food franchises, and only uses Toyotas, and when I quizzed him about the costs involved having Toyotas for the delivery drivers to abuse, crash & get broken into. He said definitely best bet as not only higher resale, but at least could be sold, some of the lesser cost cars are throwaway after 2 years. So in a bad economic time Toyota would be worth extra cost.
