Losing 10 - 15 K soon as you leave he show room makes absolutely no sense.

I know a of a guy that can top that.

This was in the mid-90s. The fellow in question is a trust fund baby that didn’t have much life experience for being over 50.

The information comes from several reliable sources and knowing the guy, I can believe it.

Anyway he bought a new car and paid cash for it. I don’t know what kind but a nice one.

He flipped out on the property taxes and took it back to the same lot. Then he bought a cheaper new car (in cash) and had the same experience. Anyway he bought down (two or three in cash) to a used little beat up Celebrity that the taxes were acceptable.

Unless you need crazy towing capacity, buy a Toyota truck. You lose max $1,500 driving off the lot, but resale value is insane. I could sell my 2006 Taco with 65,000 miles in one day for 15,000 and I only paid something like 23,000 out the door.
