So I bought a car for the first time a few days ago. I did my best to research the in's and out's of what's going on. I do know I took a huge hit in depreciation because I bought it new, but, here is my question:
I paid $15k for a new 2008 Hyundai Elantra GLS - 4 door sedan - automatic (excluding taxes/warranties and all that jazz). Is that a fair price? KBB/Edmonds show the MSRP of the car to be sitting around $14,625. So I'm guessing I couldn't have gotten it too much cheaper.
Keep in mind, I'm not talking about walking in there paying 14k cash or someone with an 800 credit score. Just your average Joe financing a majority of the car.
