I ask you this. Why would i bother with a new car? I buy a new car, and in a year, it has only 30% of it's original value. I could have bought an 04 prius for the same price as my 07 cobalt. After just 2 years, they would have had the same mileage. I'm very easy on cars. And i maintain them lovingly. I can keep something running for a long time. I fully expect i can get my Cobalt to hit 500k. I'd be able to do something similar with the prius.
