The Real Math Here's the math any person should do when deciding if buying an older safety proven and reliable Mercedes Diesel : Compare the cost of the Merceds over a year to the cost of a new car over the same timeframe. You're also probably looking at owning the car free and clear -- which means no more monthly loan payments. According to Bankrate, if you get a four-year loan for a new car that cost $14,000 at four percent interest, you're looking at a monthly payment of $323. Over a year, those payments add up to $3,869 -- plus gas, plus insurance which is more expensive for a new car the EPA says will run you $2,165 if you drive the new car 15,000 miles this year. Even before you factor in insurance costs, which tend to be higher for new cars, buying a old reliable proven Mercedes Diesel makes more financial sense. In fact, it could save you $3,363 over the year in other words the car was for free.
