Last time you purchased new vehicle.

[urrlord]

1986 D100 slant six 4spd o/d.The most disappointing vehicles I have ever owned.It had to be a monday am or friday afternoon assembled truck,underpowered ,engine comp needed replacing the second week of ownership and that was a foreshadowing of it's life.

Turned me off of purchasing new.I would rather buy older stuff.After a while all of the lemons are in the junkyard.

Is that a special Canadian model?

A Prius c for my daughter a little more than a year ago.

Wasn't planning on buying new, but the price was right.

You really can't generalize about these things. My general strategy is to buy and hold. The one thing I know for sure is that selling wholesale and buying retail, which is what you are doing when you trade in a car, almost guarantees a big cost to you.

Recognize that this is a cost in addition to depreciation costs.

Not sure if I will ever buy new again.

History, since about 1981 had jobs that provided a company car or truck,,smartest thing I ever did getting jobs like that,but the last time me and the wife at that time bought a new Honda Accord in the late 90s,,,that was it for me....had a few used ones and the Lasaber is used and I inherited it,2005...I despise car payments.

 

[Andrew1972]

Myself never in 30 years of driving.

My wife just bought her third car over her lifespan in May 2018. She only buys brand new. 96 Civic->05 Subaru Legacy->18 VW Tiguan

 

[MasterSolenoid]

2002. It's been my only vehicle since then.

 

[bradepb]

1977 Dodge cargo van. Customized it with wheels, tires,carpet,stereo, and a bed in back,all the essentials for a 19 year old guy.

First and only brand new,everything since 2-3 years old and I keep them 10-15 years.

 

[BMWTurboDzl]

Exactly 3 yrs 51 weeks ago. My vehicle is getting ready to exit factory warranty period. *gasp*

 

[wander2039]

06 Ford Ranger XL.. early 06 I think. The only new vehicle I've had and probably the last but the wife hasn't had a new one yet so eventually that's going to happen.

2001 Z28.

The wife's Malibu was titled new as it was a demo. It had 4,200 miles it. It stickered for 35,000 new we paid 24,900 out the door. Buying new hurts me, but I like late model used.
I don't blame anyone for buy new as it nice to have a car that only you have used. Maybe someday I will buy brand new again.

 

[admzn]

Never. There isn't anything out there (that's reasonably affordable) that I would want to buy new anyway.

 

[csandste]

Kia Rio 2013 bought in June 2012. Given my happiness with buying a one year old rental at big discount, the Rio will probably be my last.

 

[Oldmoparguy1]

In late 1971 I bought a new 1971 Dodge dart 4D /6 car. Drove it till it rusted out in 1988. About 147000 miles. It was a year end close out, something like $2600. Was cheap transportation at a time when that was all I could afford.
