This car has a lot to offer compared to newer cars of the same caliber. Here are few examples I could think of:

* A newer vehicle is going to depreciate significantly, while this car is going to maintain if not increase in value (if taken care of).

* Insurance for this car is much cheaper than a newer car providing the same performance and appeal.

* Fuel economy is excellent averaging 22-24 mpg city and 27-29 mpg hwy (not bad for a high 11s / low 12s car).
