Given enough time, all car will worth $0 (end of life).

I always buy.
* New for my wife every 4-5 years. (maintained by the dealership). and take advantage of the low interest incentives.
* Used for myself and drives it unit it dies (I do the repairs myself as much as possible) and always cash.

That is the best approach!
* The cost of ownership on my car is less than $1K a year.
* The cost of my wife's car is worth every penny it as it eliminates a lot of headaches.

Thank you! The video I've been looking for. Nobody ever talks about the opportunity cost when doing comparisons.

New cars are always bad invesments. Just get a used good car. That takes you to point a and point b and point c. The amount of money i save is amazing. I am debt free. I own no one nothing. Also. I own a Ford. Buy Fords if you want a long lasting car without issues. Only thing i have spend money is my oil changes and filters that i do by myself. Its not hard. Just a little getting dirty on the ground. Yesh i get it. Women plus not everyone want to do it. I get it. But it helps me

@RabianskiT

New cars are financial self DESTRUCTION. Dave Ramsey is right: If you aren’t a millionaire yet, then buy used inexpensive cars. Once you build your wealth, you can start spending money on TOYS…

@browenkrans1384

Isn't there money due at signing as well when leasing a car?

@harrygu3560

who buys a Jeep? if you are picking any car for demo, why pick a less than most popular cars? what does this example show here.

@darrenheading4057

Why would a lease company lease a car for three years plus residual equaling less than price of car. Check your figures for lease.
