For my Hyundai, they won't even offer me a cash discount. I just use the 0% financing and let the amount I was about to spend on the car collect interest
Your precious Hondas hold theirs though eh? Isn't this car north of 34 grand new?

21k and even at a dealer. Wow that's holding it's value after a year and a half. Go Honda go.
Exactly why I'm looking at a 2012 car instead of 2014. It's even German and unlike the greatest cars on earth it makes torque. Look up that word sunny![]()
For me I would rather buy new....that new car smell becomes addictive and who cares its only money for the peace of mind knowing I won't have any unforeseen major repair bills and never get stuck side of the road. Like a bic lighter when empty I toss it and on to the next one. Haven't bought used in 30 years and love it this way a new car and truck in the driveway every 3-4 years which makes the neighbors jelly. Plus its a write off so I would rather drive new cars instead of giving the gov my hard earned cash or at least minimize it and enjoy the benefits.
They all depreciate, some quicker than others.
This is why i buy used.
Let the mathematically challenged take the hit
Already have this planned when it does happen. I will be removing the DPF and tuning the car. The customers and companies I have talked to claim 30% increase in fuel economy and since there is no DPF no future costly problems. The DPF delete and tuning is typically around $1200 which is similar to the factory replacement cost.
For about $2000, you can extend VW warranty to 240,000 km which covers DPF and HPFP problems (if you want to see a nightmare, research that problem, a failed fuel pump becomes a $10K repair).
I am not taking that chance. It's a one thing to remove a cat on a bike, but whole another to temper with emissions system in a car.
30% increase in fuel economy ... I call BS on that one.
