No, it's mostly because people can buy it for 16K$ when they shop around a bit... an because it's a known fact that a new car will loose 20% (okay, maybe only 15%) of it's value once it leaves the lot. If you don't like that part of the deal, buy used.

Used is the only way to go with most cars on the road today. U can save HUGE money! Bought my Evo for $26k on this forum just 5 months and 5300 miles after someone payed $32k TTL.

Where did you get a quote for your car? Did you check the black book value on it? I don't think this is a realistic number...

It's mostly a difference of whether you want that new car w/ 0% (if you're lucky) or a used car at cheaper price, but with whatever interest rate you can get... The choice can be difficult!

Buy any brand new car and sell within 2 years and your going to lose on it. Keep the car and take care of it and sell it after 5-6 years, you won't do as bad. my 2 cents

Paid $14.9k new for mine... you guys need to learn how to buy a car. I talked to a guy who bought an 04 at 26k at the SAME dealership as I bought mine. You gotta learn how to wait to make big purchases and play the whole thing out using your brain. As for depreciation value, I don't know what to say... if I were planning on selling my RA right after buying I surely would be less likely to get a Mitsu from the get-go.
