That is a tough call. Honda holds their value a lot better than audi. regardless of it's model.
you also have to put into consideration the upkeep and maintanance cost these cars have after 8 years of being on the road.

Rust will be faster if you live near the ocean or in a place that salts roads in the winter, but
it still happens even if you don't. Both tap water and rain (due to polution) contain dissolved salts. Vehicle exhaust contains acids that promote rust. Exhaust systems rust from the outside and inside. Rust doesn't just refer to body panels!
For the US at least, ocean/winter-salt cities must account for the majority of the population.
Regarding brakes, I was referring to the rotor edge (the section that isn't swept by the pads): lots of rust there.
