What makes the resale value high and low between different car company's?

Yes, definitely. But the factors that increase the demand include quality (or the perception of quality), fads, image, a good dealer network, and longevity of the model name...among others. It is said that when a model name is cancelled, the resale value of the previous models drops. This works in the case of a short-lived brand which becomes an "orphan," but sometimes has quite the opposite effect when the name has a long tradition behind it (like Thunderbird or Camaro).
