You can recover it, or even do better when you sell the car though. Here's some sample private party sales numbers for a 2006 Jetta with 100k miles from Edmunds.
TDI - $9020
2.5 - $6158

I got dragged to the first hobbit movie and hated it. There's no way I'm paying to see another.
The Hobbit was 300 pages. The LoTR books were 432, 352, and 432 pages. Those three were made into three movies, and the Hobbit with less material than any of them was stretched out to three? Makes...
