If you were buying a new car, would you purchase an end of year close out [2008] or a 2009 model.


There are a number of considerations. One consideration might be how long one intends to own the car. Another could be related to the style (new design of a model).

We drive cars until they darn near drop dead... I could look at it two ways: The extra cost of a 2009 is not much over a 10 year period or the $1500 or $2000 I saved and invested for the 10 year period helped pay for the next vehicle.


What would you do? How much of a % or $ savings would you require to go for a 2008 instead of a 2009?
