Last time you purchased new vehicle.

[fdcg27]

Last July we bought the '17 Forester, the sixth new car we'd bought over a little more than thirty years.
Have owned these along with a number of used cars, I've found the nonsense about used always being the better economic choice to be absurd.
Unless you find something special used, new is the way to go.
For commodity cars and trucks, used makes little economic sense.
Buy the car new and enjoy the best 100K of its life with no repairs and no reliability concerns.

1998 Malibu worst mistake I ever made. No thanks to GM for all the lies regarding Dexcool and plastic gaskets, and the out of court settlement for pennies on the dollar.

For me, the better question would be, when was the last time you purchased a used vehicle? That would be about 30 years ago. To answer your question, 2015.

2007 Magnum R/T in January 2008. Stupidest thing I have ever done in my life.

Last used vehicle was last December, my Sportster.

July 2015: purchased the wife's vehicle (Journey Crossroads) sight unseen from a dealer south of Cincy. It just turned 71K miles.

Before that, it was my '14 Dodge Durango in June of 2014. It is currently at 102,000 miles.

Both cars will be here until they roll over and die.

Maybe you're just not doing it right.

Last time I bought a new car, it was 16k, 1995 Ford Contour. Only lasted me 8 years before it fell apart and I got rid of it with less than 100k. Got a used 2001 Ford Taurus to replace it, that only cost 10k when it was 3 years old although it was 25k new. Drove that one for 12 years and put about 200k on it.
