So let me get this right, you are going to pay close to 12K for a 07 car and at the end of 3 years you have to probably pay another 10-12K to buy something that is worth only 5K?
Am I missing something? Are you guys going to just lease and return it at the end of the term? Why don't you look for a 03-5 ZX5 Auto and I'm sure you will make the same payments and at the end of the 3 years it will be hers.
Ford will depreciate more then 60% in the first 3 years. So buy something that has already depreciated. Just my 2 cents.
