Seems like everyone knows how much you save with a used car, but Larry's experience highlights an argument for a new car. His $11.5k car cost him $10k, but his $32k car cost him $12.5k.
The 2003 9-5 costs almost 3 time as much, but wound up being pretty comparable.
That's why I always ask folks, do they wanna' own the 0-3 years, or the 3-6 or 4-7 year part?
The residual on a 2003 Linear woulda' been around $21k, somewhat more than the $19,500, another argument for leasing.
