Yup. The only benefit I see in a brand new factory fresh model is that it might have a feature that you want, not found on older models.
Also, there’s the warranty, but some dealerships does a basic overhaul and might offer a warranty as if the car was new for added value.
I agree and follow the same mantra, BUT, our last car was brand new. This because we needed a car with decent range as a family car and the options were more than limited 4 years ago. There were virtually no cheap used EV’s with 400+ km range. Today this is a different story obviously.
Our second car was used.
Not ever buying new again unless I experience yet another change in fuel…
Yeah. I took my second-hand car to an authorised dealer and they offered to extend my warranty from 3 to 10 years. For money of course but it wasn’t ridiculously expensive, and had no excess.
Cars lose like half their value as soon as they leave the lot. Buying brand new cars is always losing move.
