[s-cars] S Car values

[Lee Levitt]

In Massachusetts diesel is selling below premium. In fact I don't  
think I've ever seen diesel sell at a price higher than premium, if  
you factor in the higher diesel fuel economy.

I generally don't buy new cars, but an A4 or Q5 tdi will be very  
tempting. Since we will expect to own it for ten plus years  
depreciation will be less of an issue.
