Volvo maybe? Famously comfortable seats. In my are they always seem to have a supply of two model year old new cars.

I know I like to buy new. Not buying someone else's problems, and I get the best years of the warranty.

Depreciation is a problem, but if one holds for 10 years or more, is it really a big one?

I buy new if it's something I really want or is hard to find used, such as my Club Sport and my now departed 2007 Mazdaspeed 3. Still, I consider depreciation to be my friend- it let me buy my 2er for the prices of an Accord.

Funny same here...

My biggest concern about the Mitsu would be the depreciation. Are they discounting these yet?

They should be giving the ***** discount.

Are you cereal..depreciation has never factored in it for me. Cars are pretty much worthless especially with the modern electronics.

Even the stellar 4Runner bought today will not have the value it had in prior decades.

If we all drive by wire....electrodes.. the gas party is over...

What do you weigh....

If you don't trust to keep them long term due to the electronics, wouldn't resale be a major consideration?

In theory yes but I like many get other deductions and I don't consider cars anything but disposable. When my folks were alive I handed them down freely.
But as you already know we all have our ideas. I do however take great care of them but learned long ago if you trade them in they really don't care as most go to auction around here. The whole ordeal is a loss from the get go.

Dish believe it or not I saw a 2wd base model and it was discounted $687.
But has a $1000 conquest deal and honestly it covers most car owners
So maybe $2K off this MSRP $29K model
I assume the same for AWD but I have too look into it

Nissan would have more money on the hood but they cost more and the warranty is 1/2
That is from what I remember but new Nissan incentives may be coming- need to look it over again

Go with the Mitsu if you're going to keep it. Added bonus is people will get out of your way on the highway when they see that battering ram front end glowering at them in the rear view mirror.
