Have you ever bought a brand new car?

I've done it once, and I don't think I be doing it again...hahaha.

I have only purchased two used cars and both have been mistakes.

@SW-User A girl I was childhood friends with, well she got a new car when she was old enough to drive, and the thing just gave her problem after problem after problem. Not sure what she did with it, but I do know it was nothing but headaches, on a never before owned so-called brand new car.

@twiigss I've bought five new cars and only one (catalytic converter issue) problem among the years of driving them.

I know I'm in the minority of people who have had such problems with used cars. But two out of two attempts is enough to convince me that new isn't that big of a deal.


They always used to say that used cars drop so much in value after the first year. 1) That was with American cars and 2) I hold on to my cars for 6+ years (my wife's is currently 12 years old).
@SW-User My last car had some bugs. I think the issue was that it was the first model year of a major redesign for it.
