Interesting article, but I need more info.

What are the down payments?
What are the loan rates?
Are the used cars purchased private party, or through a dealer?

If you have sizable cash to put down and purchase private party, I think used will still trump new financially.

Thai was what I took away

5. Hyundai Elantra GLS

MSRP: $15,345 - $20,595
Fuel Economy: 29 mpg City, 40 mpg Highway

Monthly Payment + Fuel (New): $435
Monthly Payment + Fuel (Used): $427

The reigning North American Car Of The Year, and selected by AOL Autos as the best overall car under $20,000, the Elantra can be had brand new for a measly $8 more per month than the used 2011.

Go Hyundai...
