<prompt> Human: Almost every website say your car loses depreciation the second you drive off the lot, but if I intend to keep the car 10 years, I dont understand how I would lose from depreciation if I dont intend to sell it. Looking at a Mazda 6 2014  <response>: Cars do depreciate as soon as the become used, but not nearly as much as they used to. You can often get better financing on new cars too, so you might save money over buying slightly used.
