Buy a 2 year old car and save 60% of the money in a couple of months. Buying a new car now is financial suicide. When Toyota posts loss's you have to ask yourself what's really going to happen to the price of cars. Most car loans are backwards 10-50% and when people lose their jobs and walk away from a bad car loan the banks will dump these 1-2 year old cars for $.30 to .50 cents on the dollar.

Your 40k mercedes benz will be worth 25k in 6 months and she'll be upset when we have no more snow.

If you must buy new forget about the UGLY Benz or Boring Lexus and buy an Audi it's made to drive in inclimate weather. The others are just marketing schemes.

If your from Tacoma don't drive to Bellevue to buy a new car. The eastside is consistently more expensive for cars. On the other side I'm not a fan of Larson Dealerships or Lexus of Tacoma so that does pose a small problem for a recommendation on my end.
www.autotrader.com and look up 2006 cars you'll save a butt load and maybe have some money left to modify that little WRX thing you drive

I think thats very good advice worth at least $1.25.
