I went a different direction; but it seems are heads are in the same place. After buying 6 new Corvettes in a row and a series of other vehicles new; I decided to let someone else take the hit. This year I bought an 02 Avalanche and an 01 Corvette. On each I spent the $1,500 and bought a 4 year GMPP warranty with $100 deductible. I will drive these cars into the ground; but the original owner took the 50% depreciation. This way I get a fairly new vehicle that is under warranty; but my vehicle payments are under $250 as compared to the $1,000 payment I was paying on new cars.
