…to a reasonable degree, at least.

    Yup. The only benefit I see in a brand new factory fresh model is that it might have a feature that you want, not found on older models.
    Also, there’s the warranty, but some dealerships does a basic overhaul and might offer a warranty as if the car was new for added value.

      Yeah. I took my second-hand car to an authorised dealer and they offered to extend my warranty from 3 to 10 years. For money of course but it wasn’t ridiculously expensive, and had no excess.

      I agree and follow the same mantra, BUT, our last car was brand new. This because we needed a car with decent range as a family car and the options were more than limited 4 years ago. There were virtually no cheap used EV’s with 400+ km range. Today this is a different story obviously.

      Our second car was used.

      Not ever buying new again unless I experience yet another change in fuel…
