Buying New

Do you guys buy new? I'm 30 and I have only bought cars with cash. It's served me well, as I have $0 debt. Is it worth going into debt to get a new vehicle?

What about new-ish?

3k civic

Why bother? Used has better selection and price and is new enough. I usually take out a 2 year loan or something with the intention of paying it off in a few months (this gives me the option of actually using the loan if for some reason I need the cash for some unexpected happening.)

i buy used you can sometimes get 40% off msrp for a current year model that's what i did anyways

I always buy new, just learn to haggle and don't back down to initial offers.

Made a 48k car worth 33k yesterday for a 2017 Explorer Sport

But see, like $33k.... are you actually able to pay that off? Or do you just trade in after a while and continually pay for a new car?

>What about new-ish?

I don't even know if it's worth saving the $2-5k and buying a couple years old. Yeah you save a bit but it'll still be worth less when you go to sell it because it's 2 years older and it's a two owner car.

2018's are coming and 2017's are starting to be discounted.

My mothers car she bought brand new, its an 07 nissan murano. All in all after taxes and everything they recently paid it off for a grand total of over 42,000 dollarydoos. I think they were paying about 750 a month. Now the car in grear condition is worth 5,000 on KBB. That math doesn't add up to making a new car worth it to me atleast.

ive bought new a few times. never kept a car over 3 years or 30k miles. put a decent down payment and dont get a shit interest rate and you shouldnt get upside down on your loan vs your vehicle value. currently driving a 2500 paid off shitbox just because i got tired of payments and caring about the exterior condition of a DD

No, just pay cash. Save up man.

Otherwise buy something a few years old.
