Again, I said in my original post that buying is always cheaper if you keep a car over 3 years.

So I don't think ultimately we disagree.

John, thanks again. Of course neither one of us wants to beat a dead horse here, but I did mention that I would further respond with more info when time permitted. When possible, I would like to eventually follow up on the 3-year comp that you spoke of.
Regards,
