all the advice people are giving me about car prices seems to be anchored on prices from a few years ago that are about 20 to 40 percent lower than their current prices

the service record was pretty good too as well as the number of kilometres

Uhh. All I can really say is that you should try to find the car that best fits your needs and provides the best value for the features it has. You can go to sites like Edmunds and sort by things like MPG, safety features, whether it has android auto or apple car play, and so on. Then, once you have an idea of what sort of cars meet your requirements and budget, you can check crash safety ratings from the IIHS. Then you should decide on a model, look at local dealerships and be prepared to negotiate based on similar models and prices on your area. That's my strategy at least.

>>3579 I did recently. My first car (bought in 2017) was about 15 years old, the newish one is about 12 years old. Like that other anon, I don't really care for all that Buck Rogers stuff in newer cars and I knew that they would cost me more so I went with something older. It does have a backup camera which is neat, but the built in Bluetooth connectivity it has lags whereas the one I bought a decade ago that plugs into the cigarette lighter thingy doesn't so I'm still using that.
I would never recommend going to a dealership for a car, buy from someone you know, local listings, smaller auto garages - I dunno how things are in your area but you can also find cars for sale at a few different gas stations where I live. In my case, I bought it from an elderly couple I know who unfortunately can no longer drive
Always test drive it before making a decision and bring someone more knowledgeable than you about cars to inspect it with you if you can
Try and haggle the price down, they're probably expecting you to do it so don't feel like you're being a cheap dick, it's just part of the dance. Make sure you've got money set aside for any immediate purchases. For my car, I need to purchase winter tires, windshield wiper blades for the front and the back, windshield washer fluid, a jumpstart kit, an emergency kit, and I think I'll get myself a vanity plate too this time around, I deserve it

Did you buy the extended warranty? I found it worth the money.

I didn't get that extended warranty in the end. I got add-ons of paint protection and a reverse camera, but while doing the paperwork for that and insurance and all that, they forgot to ask if I wanted the extended warranty. And I neglected to ask about it. So I have only the statutory warranty imposed by the government.

looked at a bunch of motorbikes yesterday. Although they were fine, most of the good bikes aren't worth the ask. I can either throw a frivolous amount, ~1/2 of my budget at a bike which lacks one of the like 4 things I want, or splurge on a newer model.
Anonymous 06/11/25 (Wed) 22:34:22 No. 3808
Just buy the best looking one. You'll never regret that choice. How many cars are you going to own in a lifetime? Now think about how many chances you have to own a car you actually want. Of course make sure it's still alive, but I mean if it's an old car, you're going to have more pleasure with all of its problems and will ultimately forgive it regardless if it's something you actually want.

>but I mean if it's an old car, you're going to have more pleasure with all of its problems and will ultimately forgive it regardless if it's something you actually want Fixing problems on an old car is actually pleasurable, you change a few parts and the car is good again. Just make sure that the car you buy has really good availability of spares, or you'll have to run around trying to find parts - possibly without a car. This will make you grow tired of the car in like 2 breakdowns.
