From: Mark on 5 Dec 2009 22:14 Saw in the paper today that a 2010 Toyota is tops in the expected resale value after 5 years. Toyotas on average are expected to retain 38.8% of their purchase price. GM only around 31% and Chrysler around 29%. None of the numbers are all that great - my $30,000 RAV4 will only be worth $11,600 in 5 years, but that is still $2,300 better than a $30,000 GM that would only be worth $9,300.

Try to buy one from an individual or even a used car lot. They can be very proud of them.

The costs per mile may vary but it will cost X amount of dollars to get down the road a mile. Initial cost, trade in or sale of the vehicle, taxes, insurance, fuel, repairs, maintenance it all adds up. Any idea of what the actual cost is to actually go a mile? On a decent used car or pickup for me, I come up with 1,000 bucks a year and 25 cents a mile, more or less......probably more.

It isnt linear. Driving that new car off the lot puts a lump in your linear simulation. Some cars depreciate more quickly than others. Ever buy a Fiat? |
