I always use to buy used cars and didn't really need a brand new car at the time. I have bought my recent car from Mitsubishi, it's a Lancer OR Ralley 2006, very nice car, brand new. I said to myself it's time for me to buy a new car, because I had enough of buying used ones and end up wasting my money on fixing them. So I said to myself just buy a brand new car, maybe it's a bit expenssive, but at least I won't have to waste my time and money and getting stresed out fixing it. In conclusion, not because I have a new car, but I honestly recommend people to buy new cars, only IF they are capable to.

Well that depends if the owner takes care and maitains he car very well. If you don't maintain it well, then the chances and risks that you have to pass it thru services are higher.

Thank you my friend for sharing your practical experience. If budget is not sufficient we will go for second hand,and face several servicing and performance problems.But purchase new is better and wait for sufficient money is better than purchasing used one.

It is definitaly better than used cars. I mean 2-3 year old cars are not bad too.

I agree with you, new cars are alot better in the long run. And someday when we can afford it, I would like a brand new car.

i buy used as well. however i know fixing them can be a hassel. new cars have the factory warranties and dont' need fixed right away. if you think about what you spent on it and then think about how much you've spent fixing others you have had in the past then you'll realize how much you are really saving. i agree with buying new cars but if you are financially able to do so.

Yes of course, it's good to buy a new car. If everyone is financially good, then everyone will love to buy a new car.

I think you are right its a good idea to buy new car than spending money in old and then spending lots of money on it for repairs and all.

Yes it is a good idea, unless someone buys an old car and becomes a slave to his car.
