Well, I just got the trade in # and yes, it's 10-11K for the '03 Camry LE.

So, here is my number again and I also assume that you have $0 repairs from year 6 to 10.
 
(1) If you trade in after about 5 years = 19.5K - 10-11K trade + 6% Tax = $9K to $10K ( x 2 = 18 to 20K)
  
(2) If you trade in after about 10 years = 19.5K - 3-4K trade + 6% tax = 15 to 16.5K
 
I rather pay an xtra $300 /year to drive a new car.

You left the time value of money out of your computations.

You can twist the numbers all you want, but it's going to cost you a lot more than $300/year. Closer to $300/month actually. Believe what you want.

People buy new cars whenever they want and for whatever reasons they want - it's their call and it matters not if others agree with their reasoning. So let's get back to comparing the actual subject cars, 'kay?

Is actually $19998.00 with cargo/floor mats, cargo net and first aid kit. About $60 dollars less with the cargo/floor mats only.

I wonder if the first aid kit comes with 5 year warranty.
 
It is fine to have all-weather mats as an option but about time automakers included floor mats as a part of the car. Honda started doing that in $20K and up cars several years ago.

Honda did start including the mats with the price of the car -- but as soon as they did, the quality of the mats decreased! Robertsmx --Have you compared your 98 mats (which were not included) to the mats in the 08s? I give my new 08 mats about 1-2 years, at most, of useable service. I liked when they weren't included and they were better quality. Plus, when I bought my 98 Accord new, I flat out told the salesman that it was not acceptable that the car didn't come with mats and that the dealership would either throw in the mats for free, or I would walk away from the deal -and I would have. I got the mats. I took care of them and they lasted for 10 years.

I can't imagine the mats being any worse than the ones I had to purchase (well, "thrown in"). But I really like the mats that came in the TL (of course, it isn't a mainstreamer). Will have to "look" for standard mats in the newer Accords to draw a conclusion though.

First thing I do with a new car is buy a set of WeatherTech mats, take out the factory mats and save them for when I get rid of the vehicle.

Kennyq5,
 
I do. A wife told her husband his car is his Queen and she is only his free maid.
