I still buy used only even though I could afford new cars...simply for the fact because there is nothing that warrants a new car purchase. Nothing. Same bodies, same makes, everything is the same and yet they get to keep the prices up because they throw new cars out to new car cities/islands.

You have to stop making new car purchases since they are able to make the new car islands/cities.

Someday there may be actual innovation.

I disagree that there has been nothing new. Ford has a V6 engine that puts out 365 ho and 420 ft lbs of torque. Twin turbo charged. In a truck with an aluminum body that can out pull Chevy, dodge, Toyota or Nissan.

I buy new because I don't like old used shit.

Call me crazy..

So for you it's just a status thing--changing the context from old/used to new. That's fine.

For me, it's the idea how much metal goes into cars and junkyards and piles up in waste and beyond that...there are hundreds of millions of cars sitting in lots having already mined all that metal and such.

It's asinine to me.

So how much increase in torque. Worth the pricetag or upgrade? Not likely unless you have a boat or farm that would need such a thing.

I got tired of working on old used shit after 30 years. Don't want to fool with it. Don't even want to change oil anymore. Get the warranty and let somebody else do it.

That's an odd number. I'm in northern wisconsin and most dealerships here do 1 year leases or 5 and 10 year financing.

I'd like to get a new car but I don't want the $600 a year registration fees, not to mention the much higher insurance.

Because more people are realizing what a bad investment a new car is and that you can get a certified pre owned car that works just as good as new for a much lower price.

We buy gently used vehicles and never have problems but save thousands of dollars. We also have a good mechanic we trust for tune ups. We get something we could never afford new and keep it running for a long time.

Our state charges more per year for newer vehicles so buying used saves money in all areas.

2014 and 2015 impalas are by far in the 2LT and 2LTZ better than their predecessors... 2012-2014 Camry are much better than 2011 and earlier... Newest models have adaptive cruise but only if you spend $30k... If you don't need or want the tech buy used.

Finally replaced my 15 year old car with a 2012 Camry XLE V6 3 days ago. Nice and loaded for a decent price off new.

We've done that too, except I did the tuneups. Got sick of working on cars. I did save a lot of money though by doing that all those years.

Re: New car purchases continue to drop cause there's been nothing new in cars for 10-15 years plus.
I bought new because of the 0% interest offered. Yes, I could have bought used which I was willing to do. However, after adding the interest rate to the lower market price of the used vehicle, it wasn't much different.

So yeah, I went with new.

Peoe who trade a car in after not many miles or keep leasing save people like me money .. But hey they do get a different car every 3 years... Life is short and some people go that route.
