Every vehicle I have purchased has been a used one. Cars depreciate so fast and the current prices of them are just about astronomical. </p>\n<p>I am not saying I wouldn't ever by a brand new car, but from a cost standpoint and what I can afford to pay at this point in my life, it has never made sense to purchase a new car. </p>\n<p>The last car my wife and I bought we were able to find a really nice car that had been leased by someone else. It was two years old but it only had about 13k miles on it. The price was lower because it was used and was two years old, and about half the cost of a brand new car with similar options. </p>\n<p>If you can find a used vehicle that is a certified preowned or it was a low mileage lease that has 20k - 30k miles on it or fewer, I don't think you should have to worry too much about the fact that it is used. You are going to get a much better price for a car that is pretty close to new. </p>\n<p>The most important thing is to do your research a head of time and know what you are looking for. It helps to know what kind of engine a car has in it as well. There are some older models like the Grand Prix that might be five to ten years old, but if they have a specific model of engine in them, they will run forever. Your body will rust and fall off before you have to worry about the engine as long as you keep it maintained.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fk9agv3af","appParentAuthor":"kwadjobonsu","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
