    He’s lost over $10 grand for every thousand miles he’s driven. Or you could express that as $5 grand per month he’s owned it. Might even be worse depending on his financing.

    I guess this is another reminder that brand new cars can depreciate hard. Absolutely terrible way to rent a car for 8 months.

      So $10 per mile? He could have taken the ridiculous Uber Black service (where you get picked up in a fancy black SUV or town car) as his only mode of transport during that time, and he still would have come out ahead. And we wouldn’t have had to drive!
