I'm fully aware of the cost of maint. and consumables but can't wrap my head around the value drop year on year. My hope is to find one by a private seller before they just "give" it to a local dealer.
I have inside knowledge of the one I looked at, the dealer gave $31500 for a 2013 with 35K miles that was loaded and no accidents. They started the listing at 41K, I offered them 40K out the door the day after they got it, they had no money in it as it hadn't been through their shop. That was more than I wanted to offer but it was really nice and well cared for. They refused my offer. They have since lowered the price 1k. I would have loved to have found the seller before he "gave" it to the dealer.
Sorry for the rant, just wanted to add some color to my original post.
