When do the new 2011 Cars come out?

Dont buy new - you lose $5000 rolling off the lot, best bet is a lease return with low km, maybe 2 yrs old... I manage a body shop in north van & we have several 2011 vehicles in for repair - resale value now about 50% because of "dec" which is declaration of damage....these people have now lost alot of money, & one of them wasnt at fault. Financing a new car is at lower rate, but I think you still lose in the end, especially at the "buy out" at the end. Go used!

I'd second looking at slightly used. I saved over $15K on my car cause I let someone put 40K on it. Got it re-certified through the dealer with new warranty and even a better finance rate compared to the new models. It was the same as the new ones at the time and in such good shape no one could really tell, most assumed it was purchased new.

I'll probably never buy new again after such a good experience. It is partially luck and good bartering skills but anyone could do it.

Or buy a slightly used car across the border. You'll save even more. I've brought two cars over from the US and it's pretty straightforward.
