The new choices you have listed, you are going to take a heck of a hit in depreciation over the next few years.
Depends on what you think a heck of a lot of depreciation is. The Volvo, for example, has a 67% residual after 3 years @ 10K mi/yr. Figure a 5% discount, 95-67 = 28% or say 9% per year. 9%= $3K per year. Not bad for being under warranty with zero maintenance expense.
