I’m car shopping. Should I go for brand new or a used one?

New one on a 4 year PCP agreement which allows me to change it after a 3 year period, you have to make sure you get your average annual mileage right though. Just like your mobile phone contract.

Makes sense @garmicsmi

New! If you can wait till April 1, all makes has their vehicles discounted with lots of rebates. You'll just about pay the same price for a new car as you would for used.
If you are going for a new car, used can be just as good, you just need to take someone who knows about cars with you!

Technically only a fool buys a car brand new. Within the first 3 years it will depreciate over 50% of its value

Good point @Qwerty14

Go with certified pre-owned, most dealerships have cars like that. I bought my car in 2009 and it is a 2009 car, but was pre-owned. They still gave me the warranty just like a new car has, but I didn't take the loss for it being a brand new car, and it only had 3000 miles on it. I will never buy new again because of the loss you are forced to take as soon as you drive away.

@minarth008 Ty. But it’s like I explained to neeneen a few responses down :-(

@prsunshine2929 If you are in the US demand a Car Fax report, it shows if the car has been in an accident or not. Go to a big dealership, like a brand name dealership, they have the certified cars, and their reputation relies on that. A small dealership isn't going to have that, and will tell you anything to sell the car. The big dealerships may also call these cars pre-owned as well.

Used. New is too expensive and so is the yearly tax.

My only fear is that once I had bought a used one that looked and I was told was like brad new... only to find out it had had multiple serious accidents @neeneen
