that one has much depreciation left in it . After a while you might even see a gain in value considering its status as one of the 'last Mohicans' when it comes to N/A drivetrains. Cheers, Filip

Cost of Ownership

Our local Aston Martin dealership has a four-year-old Vanquish for sale at around 30% of its original MSRP. I would be tempted, except I only drive 3K miles a year so it would basically just sit in my garage depreciating, LOL! NickO

If you do buy new, sell it before the first set of tires wear out - that's the experience of large fleet owners in the US. Over 40k-50k miles the "out of service time" for maintenance and repairs more than offsets any savings by holding the car longer. If...

Unsurprising findings I must say.

That S-Class maintenance though! The Ridgeline is an excellent truck. I bought (financed) a new 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab in July '18. The total sale price with tax was $49K. I'd be very curious to see this chart for the Taco, I suspect it would...

An S 500 is all you need if you consider an S 65

Costs half and is fast and strong enough for the German Autobahn, regardless what is behind you coming. It should be a LWB vesion and with good specs though. A very, very nice car. Thank you for this calculations.
Too cool is right

My wife and I convinced an elderly lady that I was a limo driver who had been hired to drive her up to Orange County for a fancy lunch No, she wasn't really convinced - it was my mom after all - but she loved the attention and the car. And my cousin and a...
