    Tbh i don’t think i will ever buy a new car. New doesn’t even mean “good” or “reliable” at this point, just a warranty and that they don’t know for sure what or how much is going to break in 10K miles. Its literally paying more to be a beta tester.

    At least after a couple years third party techs have mostly figured out where the manufacturer cheaped out and how to fix it for less than the dealership wants.

      Another benefit to buying a used car is that if it were to have any glaring issues they would have all been revealed. Think of the first owner as a prolonged stress test.

          No need to apologize, what do people do with a perfectly fine car that doesn’t suit them anymore for whatever reason? They sell it.

          Could be. But that’s why you need to thoroughly go over the car, test drive it and maybe even have a trusted mechanic inspect it before you buy it. Same can be said about a used phone, car, bike, whatever. Do your homework before money changes hands.
