Buy Used or New?

You might want to consider buying your car used on this forum. You could possible get an idea on how the person treated your car too.

I used to always buy new, but never again. That money you lose just driving off the lot is ridiculous. Late model used with low miles is the way to go for me. I bought my last car (a BMW) new and it was problem after problem from day one. Lost my *** when I finally traded it. My girlfriend bought a 2 year old Miata and the thing has been perfect. You are taking a chance new or used, but I'll save that initial hit you take when buying new.
