“Yea except the $10k you loose in depreciation right off the bat when it leaves the lot”

I know a lot of people believe this but it really couldn’t be farther from the truth. As an example I just bought my wife a new 2020 Ford Fusion SE for 14200, sticker price was 25k, I can’t touch a used 2019 for that. In other words how many years can I drive this car before I lose a dimes worth of value, looking at the used market probably at least 2. The same could be said when I bought my new 2015 Sierra for 15k under sticker price. I would recommend considering buying new from the big 3, they can all be had for 15k under sticker if you shop around. On a side note, fuelly is great for comparing real world mpg numbers and car gurus is great for finding deals whether you go new or used.
