All valid opinions based on experience.
Living in MA we have the privilege of paying 5% sales tax no matter who you buy through. To boot, the tax is based on the retail value of the vehicle, which can oftentimes be more than what you pay (especially in a private sale). Another privlege we have is the yearly excise tax. For my Saab it is $75/year now. A one or two year old import (Volvo, Honda, Saab etc...) would probably be $400 the first year declining to $150 by year four.
The biggest expense associated with almost any car (except for engine repair! and the Toyota Prius) is depreciation. My neighbor bought a loaded 2007 Sequoia at the beginning of that model year. Stating the obvious but his depreciation equals 3-4 engines at this point (perhaps more due to the fact there isn't a market for such vehicles right now). Saabs (newer) are bad news on this front as well.
Kirk.
