Cool. I wanted to buy a Suburban. I can get one with low miles for 1/2 the price of a new? Nice. And it won't have the new "crunch in a crash" design... safety being one reason why I wanted one to begin with.

Because of an evergrowing family, I bought a K1500 Suburban with all the bells and whistles at auction a few months ago for 28K. It was one year old with 15K miles. The list the previous year was almost 40K. It was GM certified too.

Buying a new car will hammer you the first couple of years with rare exceptions like the Land Rover Defender Ragtop...but then that's a whole nother issue...Land Rover reliability(oxymoron...for morons like me). Those Defenders have held their value very very well. They still go for around 80% of cost even if 7/8 years old.

Like I said above, I appear to be stuck with my MB M class....even if I dump it...it will have cost me from 6-800 bucks per month in depreciation alone.
