Agree 100% on not getting the first year model. In the last 30 years the family got burned on a first year 1994 C-Class Mercedes and a 1999.5 Jetta. Even the Germans have issues.
But, cars when compared to inflation, and excluding the exotics of the sports and luxury car world, have significantly decreased in real costs over the years.
