Haha, I should print this one and save it!
There hasn't been as many comments on the waste of money I thought there would be, mostly just winter tire comments.
Am I right in thinking it would be a complete waste of money? The Versa is a "run of the mill" car that's depreciating probably quite a bit. To have paid it off, park it, and go buy some 13 year old car that could have any amount of problems, poor gas consumption seems absurd to me. Tying up $3,000, then the added insurance, immediate investment in inspections, registration, and any immediate repairs. Not to mention using up an indoor parking spot and parking the SUV outside all winter.
One thing I was uncertain of. How much would a 13 year old SUV be depreciating? If you get rid of it a year later what kind of hit are you going to take if you paid.. say $3,000?
