Who once said. "Never buy a New car"
Used ones may be a better deal.

Often not the case anymore unless you're buying something with very poor
resale value.

The "Car talk" guys say the minute you turn the key in a New car, there
goes thousands of dollars.
After 2/3 years the thing is worth maybe half.
Hint; buy used and Car Fax. & have it checked out by a mechanic.
I would not buy a first yr car or one that the manufacturer keeps the
repair codes from the independent mechanics.
Good Luck.
I only buy old VW's. I can repair them myself, no gadgets and less
plastic.

I would NEVER buy a new car. I drive less than 3k miles a year. Why on earth
would I spend more than $5k on a car? I buy cars with 125k miles on them and
keep them for more than 10 years. I'm in my mid-fifties and just bought my
4th car.
