Talking to a friend, the more we look at vehicles we recognize there is great value for dollar coming from all markets but I think the debate of used vs New come into play and make it hard to decide on which path to go down.
First off, he's more in the market but totally knows the TCO operating costs between domestic (own'd jeeps), foreign (Hondas) and the Europeans (Volvo and Mercs)
but if you look at dollar for dollar, you can find some amazing deals on specifically "cars" as for some reason every soccer mom thinks SUV's are safer and more pratical.
At first, he was thinking hey... Stinger or G70, then wait, those Honda Accord turbo's quite nice and so is the new Maz 6 turbo.
but the long and short of it, he doesn't need any financing incentives, and some of the CPO's from Mercedes for instance, can get you into a 2-3 year old Merc E400 with under 60k/km for less than either of those, with almost the same amount of warranty coverage... with 4Matic and actual balls
thoughts?
