Is you don't feel it as much when you're making $300 monthly payments Vs. $1500 up front for a service. If that's all you had over the course of a year, then your effective payment is $150 which is alot less than your "new" car that requires no maintenance.
The other biggie is depreciation. You don't feel that hit until you sell. Imagine having to fork over $10K your first year, $7K the next, $3K the following? Its all about perceptions and when and how the hits come. Depreciation is the worst one of all.
Unless you're really unlucky its always better to hold onto that old(er) car then spring for the new one.
