[quote=spdrun]I’d have to side with flu on that one. You’re creating resale value when you buy used. Resale value is part of the reason why the company can sell the new car at near the MSRP to begin with.
The previous owner is essentially just a middleman between the dealer/company and you.[/quote]Ok, fair enough. I’ve bought 9 vehicles used in my lifetime (8 Toy/Lexus and 1 Honda). I was the third owner on most of them. I also sold all of them off my driveway for a decent sum to another private party. All but one were still running fine when I sold them.
Can any Pigg here comment authoritatively on Subaru’s CVT (reliability, being “overtaxed” on hilly mountain roads daily, etc). I’m really leaning towards “retiring” in the mtns. El Dorado County, CA is still on my shortlist :=D with “Gold Country” towns (along SR-49) also under consideration. My next vehicle has to last the rest of my life (or until my Driver License is taken away from me, whichever happens first) :=0
Late model/new Lexuses are a bit too rich for my pocketbook and I was planning on paying cash for my next vehicle. However, Toyota Motor Credit financing at zero percent for up to 60 months (on new vehicles only) sounds like it might be doable . . . that is, AFTER my youngest graduates from college.
