For me it is (as weird as it sounds) a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited.
I had it from 2005>2011 when I got my TDI to commute in.
The GC was just a great vehicle all around, quiet, spacious, comfortable, fast! (0-60 under 7 seconds) killer off roads and it has been very reliable for me. It only had one issue that got fixed under warranty (The AC condenser cracked to a rock hitting it)
I sold it for a meager 6k in 2011 after trying to sell it for over a month, and it looks like it would have depreciated exactly 0 dollars since then. I should have just kept driving the thing
Granted the big downside was 15.5 MPG on donkey piss (87). At the peak I was spending $400 a month on gas. But 0 depreciation pays for a lot, it would have been cheaper than my golf to own given that i spent 9k on depreciation in the last 2 years.
I miss it at least once a week. A vehicle like that is irreplaceable when it comes to outdoorsy activities.
