[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6860814, member: 54866"] I have never bought a brand new car and never will. It is utterly pointless. I do not enjoy/value cars to the extent that I would willingly watch hundreds of pounds a month disappear from my bank account in exchange for the privilege of new car smell. I, in common with other family members, have run cars to high mileages before and in my experience I have never had a big repair bill that came close to the cost of finance payments on a vehicle I could not buy outright. New clutches, cambelts, water pumps or suspension components are dirt cheap compared to shelling out hundreds of pounds monthly and the age and mileage of cars makes depreciation a non-issue. It's almost like the car industry dreams up expensive horror stories to justify selling new cars. Come the era of electric cars vehicle reliability will become such that buying new will become even more nonsensical. The instances where PCP, hire/lease and buying cars are the ideal option are for businesses where tax is a consideration. [/QUOTE]
