If you mean used? Then absolutely. Depends on the deal and condition. Just finished paying off my brand new car, so I'm in no way eager for another car payment.

It’s what I am looking for. Getting a car that is 1-3 years old saves a lot of money compared to buy new.

I got my first car about a month ago and it's a used one. In pretty good condition though.

Alwaya have. Buying new is idiotic unless it's a company car. There depreciation the moment it leaves the show floor is ridiculous.

There is an endless supply of cars which close to no mileage on them and practically brand new for 70% of the new price.

Brand new cars are a waste of money. second hand is the way to go, but getting a third party mechanic to inspect the vehicle before you purchase it is probably a good idea

That's not necessarily true. I've bought new and used and have never regretted buying new. Interest rates are usually lower, warranties cover most issues for the first 5 years and service through my dealership is usually free.

I've always bought new. You never know what you're getting with used cars. But if it's the only way you can purchase a car then go for it. Buy where you trust the sale though. And don't overpay. Check the blue book value.
