Resale in 3-4 years time, what's your gut…

Been having a chat with the wife about whether to keep ours past the PCP end or hand it back. Bought mine last June and it's been brilliant, but I keep going back and forth on what it'll actually be worth come 2028 or 2029. My gut says depreciation is going to be steeper than the last cycle. Used market feels saturated lately, and with all the new models landing every few months the older stuff is getting hammered on price. I had a quick look at what 2022 examples are going for now and it's a bit grim if im honest. Mind you, low mileage cars in decent specs still seem to hold up reasonably well, so maybe condition matters more than ever. Then again, I might be too pessimistic. A mate of mine reckons anything with a proper service history and under 40k will always find a buyer, and looking at what I paid vs the trade-in quote I got last month, it's not as bad as the doom-mongers make out. Probably depends massively on spec and colour too (boring greys and whites seem to shift quicker round my way). What are you lot expecting yours to be worth in 3 or 4 years?
