options that the 06 does not have. But I'm also taking a bigger depreciation on
the 05. I'm torn.

I just don't get this depreciation comment. They are giving you a deep-discount on the 2005...right. Doesn't that wipe-out the depreciation, or most of it?

Another thing about depreciation I just don't get is this example. Say you buy a 2006. And in 3 years it is worth X$ less. OK, so it is worth less in 3 years, that's deprciation...but you also got to drive and enjoy the car for 3 years! Nothing's free. And if customer "A" negotiates a better deals than another buyer, than customer A's car depreciates less. Right?
