No More Oldsmobiles

I found this true-cost calculator at edmunds.com. So I ran it for the costs on a new Sport editon manual over five years (including depreciation) was $43,244. (Your results might vary depending on destination charge.)

Just out of curiosity I ran it for a Speed 3 sport edition and it was $37,629.

Then I did a base-model 350Z: $44,388.

I'm going too be so rich when I'm dead that I won't be able too spend a penny because money is that powerful...

ok... but the lame thing is that the true cost to own INCLUDES the price of the car itself so thats not so bad (because it counts the cost of depreciation, essentially the car for how long you own it then sell it after 5 years)

Yes, they do include the price of the car in the cost of owning the car.




Go figure.

That means it's going to be 70K in 5 years right?

I still can't afford a 5 year used one dammit.
