New car Vs. Used

[MainerMikeBrown]

My grandfather usually didn't buy used cars. He felt that by doing so, he'd merely be buying someone else's problems.

I have a brand new Corolla and an old Charade. New car like a new wife comes with new problems while the old car like an old wife goes with old problems!!lol

I once owned a used Ford Contour, until the transmission blew itself up.

It wasn't until after that happened that I found out that Contours have a reputation of blowing transmissions.

I'm just gonna baby mine for now on. It would be great if it was problem free another three years. Then i would like to get something a little newer. Used of course, unless I win money or something. I drive it maybe 60 miles a week lately.

I prefer new cars

The down side for me owning a brand new car would be the fact that I'd be a little paranoid about avoiding dings and dents. Having the car parked in a parking lot and someone parking right next to mine and having them open their door on mine...that's something I'd be too worried about.

there is too much depreciation on new cars n you cant changeit morr often ,BETTER TO buy one which gets frequently changed by passionate car buffs

Newly used

I recently bought a 2006 Dodge Charger RT. The thing is beautiful Hemi and everything. However it died on me. I had it in the dealers shop 5 times. Plus the kicker is they had already sold me paid off trade in. So getting that back was not an option.

So I ended up getting a brand new 2012 Dodge Avenger. Its no hemi but I am pleased with it and so is my wallet.
So after all that I will always go new.

If I was going to buy a Dodge, I would always go new. I'll be honest, after having purchased a new car, I'd have to be SUPER impressed to buy used now. I've been itching for a new car for a few years now, but I'm less than a year from paying off my car.

I think that a used car is the way to go. You just have to be good at spotting out the bad in some of these cars available. I think that it is not worth the money on a new car. The end result is ultimately the same. And in this day and age there is a wide variety and choice and so a used car is pretty much the same as getting something new.

It depends on where I am financially. I would have preferred to buy a new car, but I got a great deal on a 2009 Hyundai Accent at $150/month and so far there have been some little things that needed work, but nothing major.

That's the wonderful thing about the internet, when buying used cars, you can do a search on a brand and model. You'll come up with consumer and technician comments about any problems that are particular to that car. I'd suggest that this be done before the purchase so as to prevent headache and heartache in the future.
