Resale value - Will we see a disaster?

If you have to finance anything for 84 months, you are buying the wrong vehicle. Most people pay cash for these and don't really care about what it's worth in 6 years. They just get something else. This is not a lower income, 3 kids and a mortgage, Paycheck to Paycheck, I can't afford the gas, vehicle.....

I agree with the statement but if it s 84 month and 0,1 or even 2% interest I would probably take it just to have the lower payments and pay it off sooner anyway. I have always been one that does the "just in case" when I bought my Lamborghini I actually financed it for 10 years with 50% down so my payments were only $500 a month. I paid it off in less than 6 months but I knew if shiiit hit the fan I could always make a $500 payment until I got rid of it.

You should ask my sister n law the same question, my brother just got her a 22 RST 5.3 and the dumb broad doesnt want to even move the hoe cause of gas prices…

Should have got her a nissan leaf I guess...although electricity costs are on the rise too so maybe he should have got her a bus pass.

I don't think our yukon does too bad in the fuel department (17 mpg average per EPA, I see 17.5 so pretty accurate) when I consider a few other vehicles I regularly drive. These numbers are per the EPA but I can confirm all these vehicles are thirsty and more so if you drive them spiritedly

1995 silverado: 13 mpg average
2002 audi s8: 15 mpg average
2004 vw r32: 19 mpg average
