A used car reaches its greatest value as a purchase when somewhere around 2-3 years old with decent mileage and proper maintenance.
You're going to drop $30Gs on a car that will lose a chunk of unrecoverable value when you drive it off the lot, and tie into it for 7 years?????? :o
I financed ours at 5, and it's OPEN. I can pay it off tomorrow without penalty, because the total cost is assumed regardless. Ever think of something like that?
We're just coming up on 2 years in, and we'll probably have the cheddar to pay it off outright next summer. Oh yeah. :)
EDIT - grammar and boneheadedness.
Also, again, they're CHARGING for a manual transmission. It's not enough they claim their cars are "built for drivers", they have to punish the real "drivers" that actually want to buy their cars?
Damn, that sounds like Microsoft.
