With used cars being in such a premium state now a days and their resale being quite high, I've began to wonder what the financial impact would be if a person would buy a used car and then resell it (possibly back to the selling dealer) 5 or 6 months later. I know they always say that a new car looses a several thousand dollars as you drive it off a lot, but I wonder what the difference would be if you bought and then sold a good used car within a short time period. I'm not recommending you do that, but your question got me to thinking about the cost of temporary ownership vs renting or even buying and then paying for storage and whatever other cost that would be associated with owning a car for 12 months (e.g. insurance, repairs for things that would go wrong with having a car sit for 6 or more months). Just thinking . . . . .
