Your opinion is a regional one. Here in South Florida 4wd is not desirable at all. I would never buy one or pay extra for it. People here seek out 2wd only. Its more desirable and sellable here. 4wd sit around here, few want them. being this is the area we would be trading or selling later on 2wd is what you want. I came from up north and understand your feeling.....but i will never be near snow or ice ever again and only visit up north in warmer months.
Being from the upper Midwest, I've owned at least 12 4wd or AWD vehicles over the last 30 years. Not a single one ever gave me any driveline or "4wd crap" issues. Saved my tail many times in blizzards and midwestern weather. Flat out returned more money when sold....
