Re: Pros and cons of buying a new car or nearly new car?
We buy new because we're not good at evaluating used and can't fix anything ourselves. Bought a new Honda Accord in 1999 and drove it for 17 years, paid off after 3 years. Bought a new Toyota RAV4 in 2004 and still driving it, no issues with it other than regular maintenance. Bought a new Toyota Sienna in 2016, and we did get it for 0% financing through the dealership. We looked for used minivans but couldn't find one with mileage/age we wanted. A very hot item and more than once had one we were interested in, but couldn't get there before it was sold. That was why we decided to buy new.
