The only vehicles that have high resale values are those that are well maintained. Thus any well-maintained vehicle has a high resale value. The flawed nature of the argument can most effectively be demonstrated by noting that, by parallel reasoning, we could argue that ['since the best mediators have the longest track records, the worst mediators have the shortest track records', "since one's need for medical care decreases as one's health improves, a person who is in an excellent state of health has no need of medical care", 'since all city dwellers prefer waterfalls to traffic jams, anyone who prefers waterfalls to traffic jams is a city dweller', 'since none of the plants in this garden have been pruned before, no plant in this garden needs pruning']
