Yes. But consider this. My 1996 Hyundai Accent which depreciated like wild
fire the moment I drove it off the lot after paying $7,500 for it brand new
now has 210,192 miles on it. With an average mpg around 40 miles/gallon, I
figure I got my money's worth and could care less about depreciation. With
some luck, thus now starting to rust, machine will reach 300,000 miles on
the odometer. I hope so. I'm trying to catch up with my wife's 1993 Subaru
Impreza which has 229,313 miles on it before either car gives out.

Very true. I also tend to keep my vehicles until "death due us part"
and so depreciation is merely a fictitious expense dreamed up by
accountants. Now if you are one of those "more money than brains"
people who trade cars every year or three, then depreciation is a very
real concern.

Man, good thing you put the "more money than brains" in quotes or you might
just have started another flame war :-) Of course, what other reason could
someone have for buying a new car every few years except for having too
much money and too little brain?

How does someone with such a big brain wind up saying such stupid stuff all
the time? Or do you really believe everything you say?

Hey, you know you are entitled to your opinion. But you probably know what
they say about opinions....

Eric

P.S. - I usually turn over my cars every few years for the plain and simple
reason that I am tired of them. Or something better has come along. I
can't do it with my wife (too expensive).
