The engine just blew up on my old Beamer. ($4K seemed like such a good deal at the time!, its was a beautiful car with 160K) After another $4K in repairs and a blown headgasket...not such a good deal after all...

What's the most economical replacement car? A) Brand new Japanese car which I'll take great care of for the next 20 years. B) The same car for a few thousand less with a few thousand miles on it. C) Similar car for dirt cheap with a whole lot of miles on it?

I'm not concerned about style or comfort, just trying to figure out what's the best deal economically.
