With regards to depreciation MINI is helped considerably by the BMW connection which rightly or wrongly will, for the foreseeable future, keep the residuals higher than the Fiats.
If you want a 500 best buy one now and flog it in the next 6 months while the newness is still there if you don't want to lose too much.

A majority of 500s for sale at the moment aren't commanding a premium at all.

If you want premium wait for the Abarth - Only going to be sold from specialist Abarth dealers, only going to be around 10 so. I think that will command quite a large premium.
