[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm going to go against the grain here and say that used cars are just not worth the hassle anymore.[/b] It's easier just to buy new cars so you know you won't have any anoyying issues abour the car breaking down for a while.

I think this is a good point. I've always purchased used cars, but I bought my last one new and 9 years later I've had zero problems. I won't go back to buying used. [/quote]

I’m 51 and have never bought a new car but I would like to have that experience once. We can afford and would pay cash but I see the prices and I always back down.

However I have also had an amazing run of luck with used cars and not run into maintenance issues. The one time DH bought a new car, it was a lemon and a disaster. I also hate dealing with dealerships, especially their service and repair shops. [/quote]

FWIW, I’m the PP and when I bought that new car nine years ago, it was such a fun experience getting a brand new one — since I’d never done that before — that nine years later I still get into my car and feel like I have a new car.[/quote]
