Depreciation

One of the biggest reasons I will always advise you to buy a used car versus a new car is because a new car’s value depreciates SO quickly.  Your car loses 11% of its worth with the simple act of driving off the lot.  Five years down the road and your car could only be worth 35% of what you paid for it! Take a look at this:

Mileage also comes into play.  If you drive 100 miles a day because your work sucks, that’s going to hurt your resale value.  On average you can subtract anywhere in between 20-25 cents per mile from the value of your car. On the other hand, if you buy this car at the 3 year mark odds are you can get it below that depreciation value which gives you the upper hand and saves you a ton of cash.
