Mange Mite posted:yeah a dealership would never cheat their customers I bought my used car from a dealership a few years ago, a car that had 12.5k on it. Seemed like a great deal, but then when I had to replace the battery and a cord/wire that attaches to the battery my odometer came up as 200k+ The dealership I got it from was the typical scuzzy place, I didn't bother to phone them since it was almost a year later, but I should have.

Bought a Fit to replace my 17 year old Corolla because I don't want to worry about buying a car for another 15 years. It's probably smarter to buy used, but used prices were crazy high on recent models, and at least I can drive it careful and make sure it is maintained well from the start.

I bought a 3-year old car with 30K miles and a clean title. Guess how much less it was than the same car, but new? $30K less. Interest rate? 1.7% Buying a new car is dumb unless it's something like a Tesla that you can't really find used.

I bought a new car because I got an 8 year full coverage warranty thrown in over the 12-24 month warranties literally everybody has up here on everything used. And it was $2k more than anything used under 30,000 miles. I've been plagued with hosed up cars that have cost thousands since 2008. The idea of not having to worry about one three years after we've paid it off, and a 0.0% apr, is really, really nice. Plus it's literally everything I wanted (except blue, but the company's blue is awful so I'm happy with this color). I mean yeah there's depreciation when it leaves the lot but to be honest I intend on keeping this thing until it stops running just like I have every other car I've ever owned.

It's actually becoming a problem because the kind of people who buy teslas arent the kind who buy used cars PS teslas aren't that great. the build quality is bad and the ergonomics are annoying. ill probably sell mine soon

wilfredmerriweathr posted:yeah actually leasing is for fuckin posers, buying a new car is for scrubs. if all the used cars you've seen are pieces of poo poo, maybe you should check out this automaker called "toyota", they have these cars they call the "camry" and "corolla" and you can buy one from anytime in the last 25 years and it will just go. forever. as long as you change the oil is there a 4-wheel drive vehicle that lasts as long as a camry or corolla? i need 4-wheel for my job

Chev Dealership. I should have called, but the buying process was so terrible that I just laughed it off. I'm running the thing into the ground and tell people about it whenever they talk about getting a car. Apparently it and the Ford across the street are infamous for being lovely, lovely places, while the Kia down the road has a pretty good reputation.

pre-2000 jeep cherokee is what you want. Little chrysler issues like the front speakers not working will crop up but the drivetrain is dead reliable and they will go to 300k+ with just routine maintenance. you could also try to find a rav4, or an older 4wd corolla or tercel, but they are gonna be more money and the old tercels are slooooow. Plus nothing beats actual 4x4 in deep snow.

You know it. Parts are everywhere and super cheap, and there's a ton of space in the engine bay thanks to it being a straight 6. (don't get the 4cyl, it's worse in every way) Just watch out for rust when you're buying it. wilfredmerriweathr fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Aug 31, 2015 |

Infidel Castro posted:The nice thing about buying new is you can get the exact car you want 99% of the time. The interest rates on a used car loan are higher than a new car, too. Depends on your bank and credit. I bought a used car recently with ultra low miles (under 11K) and my interest rate was 0.9%.

pretty happy with my 07 eclipse GS only work I've put into it in 5 years has been tires, brakes, struts, and oil changes gonna do the water pump/timing belt/tensioner soon because car's at like 95k miles so nothing's gone "wrong" but every car has wear parts that need to be replaced eventually just driving around you are incurring costs by wearing down parts gonna hang onto this thing for a decent while longer but I wish the straight 4 engine wasn't so anemic
