  • Yeah Brand new car is wasted money there is so little difference between brand new and 2-3 years old and a price difference can be several 1000s absolutely not worth overpaying.

    Where will the 2 year old cars come from if no one ever bought a new one?

    0% finance and other discounts can lower the gap between new and 2 years old quite considerably in some cases.

    Also, it's just nice to have a new car!

    Not even when i was young, and before having children, could i ever afford a new car.


    Newest car i ever had was a 5 year old Fiesta XR2.
