I'm in middle GA now. We had a new house built 6 years ago. Four-sided brick, 1386sf, 10k in upgrades, we paid 162k. Value now is 240ish. At age 65 I pay no state income tax, 7% sales tax, $3045 property tax, and $1100 property insurance. Vehicle registration is $22.50 a year. It doesn't...

Interesting takes on this topic. I only buy new when there are steep discounts. When discounts are offered on new, that value trickles down to the used market as well. Here in Georgia, I see used Broncos on dealer lots for the same money as similar new Broncos. When supply exceeds demand, it...
