"better value" is hard to define sometimes....
"cheaper" is easy to define
Just make sure you are comparing apples to apples and that supply and demand are not skewing the numbers ---
i.e. if there is only one dealer in town with the one car you want and no others are available --- then the cost should be higher....
Sounds like they are saying the gmc will be worth a LOT less at the end of the term....
So in actuality it's up to you what you consider 'of value' -
if the car does what you want and you've paid what YOU consider a fair price, then it's all good !!!
after all a car is just a tool to get you from one place to another - some quicker than others, some in better 'style' than others, some could care less about any esthetics ...
So, thus far, there are no laws to FORCE you to buy the standard - you have free choice... good luck on your decision...
