“I can not emphasize enough the importance of resisting the temptation to buy a new car. Unless you’re going to lease, and get a car for $350 a month that would normally cost $600 to finance, I don’t like the idea of buying a new car.”

Sorry buddy but your advice is off. It demonstrates that you just don’t really understand the new or used car business when you throw out a blanket statement like buying new is going to cost you mkore becasue of depreciation.

It cost people who want some special car like a red MIatta wiht specific option a lot becaeu they have to pay retail for that customizqaiton. But for anyone who is open on make and model of vehicle they generally will hyave less headach and lower operating cost by buying new. End of Story.

The people who do well buying used are generally gear heads who can make repairs on the weekend that the average Joe can’t. For those guys buying used make a lot of sense.
