if you buy 60k car, few years later it will be worth $30k
buy same model used car for $30k, few years later, you will get $20k for it...

new car will cost you $30k vs used one for $10k... sure you don't get newest bells and whistles, but you still drive basically the same car, and save $20k... :2 cents:

just out of curiosity... in united states, what would be an average price of used Mercedes C class (older line), lets say from year 2004, and lets say C 270 model?

World?s first mass-produced electric vehicle offers performance, efficiency and unrivaled utility for a base price of $49,900*, making it the only car you?ll ever need."

coming in 2012...if the earth doesn't explode, that is...

I've looked at a few of these but resale value is horrible. Thats pretty much why I would not buy any american made car is because in 2 years its worth half of what you paid. Trucks and SUVs on the other hand seem to hold of value a little better.
