5 years warranty and servicing all paid for.

All I need to buy is petrol for the next 5 years.

Who is buying your car insurance and road tax for the next five years?

Also "last car you ever buy" is either pretty ambitious or extremely negative. You could live for another thirty years.

Insurance and tax are pretty negligible if you've had 47 years experience with a clean history in the last 5, surely.

Unless he's bought a Ferrari or something

Oh! do you have to buy insurance and road tax?

My last car which I had for 10 years was costing me about £300 per year to keep on the road, my new car,

Insurance £127 road tax £0

Plus I had to get my savings down to claim means tested benefits.

I'd never buy a 2nd hand car again. The depreciation hit is worth it in knowing you won't be sitting in some balding middle aged man's bum crust or bogies... or worse.

Since buying brand new I don't think I'd go used again for a main car (commuting/daily driver) - would buy something cheap and used for fun at weekends though

I agree, there is nothing like the feeling of driving a new car, it even smells better.

I once bought a used car in the summer, all the windows were open when I looked at the car and test drove it.

Found out when I shut the windows over night that the previous owner was a pipe smoker.

I could still smell the smoke after 5 years.

when we were looking around for a car it worked out within a few hundred pounds cheaper to buy new than used, then as previously said warrranty, 1st full year tax paid, and no mots to pay for even if it passes

Our last 3 cars were new and started looking again now

Only ever bought new cars, Don't want anything that someone has been abusing.

As for OP, do people buy new cars? Get up on the stage, you will make a fortune
