I see you're bad at math, which probably explains why you're bad at money.
I posted my purchase price a while ago; I'm paying $15,922.45:
If we use the calculator, we discover that...
Except that's not accurate, because I put $2000 down in order to tweak my monthly payments.

...and so you had to settle for a truly cheap car, the Hyundai Elantra. I understand.

Again, I believe you'll find you'll get better support at an Elantra forum, because, quite frankly, I would've paid more for the Micra than an Elantra. I hate to tell you, the quality is really that much better and the Micra really is the better value. But you enjoy your Elantra, and go ahead and waste your money on a frilly carbon fiber appearance rock protector to make yourself feel better about it.
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
