Just to Update, I got the car and I ended up getting mazda 3i. More fun to drive and less out of pocket expenses and loan payments now. I checked CARFAX and AutoCheck I had the car checked out by a Mechanic I called the dealer to see if any work was done (bulb change) and if it was still under warranty (yes!! till 50,000 or 2010) Everything checked out and I drove home with it Summary:- Age: 22 19,600 miles 2006 mazda 3i touring 4.6% CU loan with Auto Debit payments No Gap & No extended warranty $12000 +$350 (Sales Tax and title and plate transfer) Having a car to drive!! Priceless!!! Thank you all for your help and input. I am happy and that's the most important thing!! |

Replying to: robbieg (Sep 11, 2008 6:33 am) I think that is true. The pricing of used Hondas and Toyotas is (to me) ridiculously high. But, even in the case of domestics or other supposedly faster depreciating cars, if you get a big discount and rebate it can also get to the point where new seems to be a better deal. One who get 25% off MSRP on a domestic will see less depreciation than one who only gets 15% off on the same car.
