How about purchasing a car that's only say 1 or 2 years old? I read that cars drop massively in value as soon as you drive out of the showroom because it's no longer "brand new". Googled it and found this quote: "On average, a new car will lose as much as 19 percent of its value in its first year of ownership. That means that your $20,000 new car will be worth about $16,200 after just one year."
