minus-squareSoapbox@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·1 year agoA brand new car. Buy used, let someone else take the depreciation hit.
minus-squarebalsoft@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoWith how complex (and unrepairable) modern cars are, in a few years the used car prices will probably shoot up because of flailing supply.
minus-squareSoapbox@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYeah, my car is 18 years old, has almost 300k miles on it, and because it’s desirable and not made anymore, it’s still worth about half what I paid for it 14 years ago.
minus-square1984@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI doubt anyone will pay half the price of a 4 year old model if its 18 years old…! A lot of things break on cars that old, so any buyer has to be a bit stupid to pay that price…
