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…
