   That MAY be true, but it there is no chance in hell of an expensive new   
   car competing with a used car.  My first new truck was a GMC Sonoma, and   
   my second was an Chevy S-10.   
      
   I've been in the new and used car market for the last year.  Dealing   
   with my own stuff, and getting rid of my dad's stuff.  I bought a new   
   truck, and was seriously considering buying another one this year.  I've   
   even found myself counting days and vehicles to make sure I don't have   
   to get a broker's license.  LOL.  Fortunately dealer transactions don't   
   count so I am still good.
