75% of the lifetime for 60% of the cost (your numbers) doesn't sound like a bad deal.

Yup! Personally I'd never buy a new car, but they aren't really that bad of a deal. I will say though, there's an uncertainty that exists that wasn't apparent in my simplification. Transmission failing out at 9 years would basically make your car useless, but if you had warranty you'd be good.

When you consider the time value of money it becomes an excellent deal.
