This is a bit off topic but I thought I would get some interesting responses here. After all, I'm sure many of you have bought a new car.
My car is getting on in age and higher in miles so I'm looking at replacing it within the next year. I have previously had only used cars (Most recently Japanese imports) which I have held for a good period of time. My present car I have owned for 11 years.
I would quite like a Subaru - most likely an Impreza (Basic model). Initial sums show a car like this ballpark (around $30k new) depreciates at $1,500 - $2,000 per year whether I buy new or used. I have also seen the entry level price of quality used cars increase over the last several years.
If I buy new, I expect to hold for 15 or more years.
