...but what else won't your car have by not getting the moonroof? (too lazy to go check the web site to see the list of features right now...)

What all does the premium package include for the $2.5k?

Another way to look at it is this...let's say that a car with the premium package will sell for $1,500 more than a car without the premium package in 4 years. If that is true, then your true cost for the premium package is only $1,000 (you pay $2,500 and recoup $1,500 after 5 years).

Of course, these are all just hypothetical numbers.

Keep in mind that when people buy used cars, they like to think to themselves "sure, it's a used care, but it's loaded."

Really--just buy what you think you will enjoy driving. I doubt that the resale a few years from now will be that much worse for one without the premium package, so if you don't care for it, buy the car without it.
