you have $25k (i don't) is it better to buy a brand new car or an older, better model?
What would you buy with an imaginary 25k budget?
- also must be a 4 door sedan or hatchback._niko
- 25k is not much for a decent quality brand new car. You'd be buying upper economy to middle range stuff.Muncher
- But 25k can buy you an awful lot of highly desirable older stuff that has merely depreciated sharply.Muncher
- And 25k would buy you a well sorted retro or classic car.Muncher
- 5 yrs old will get you a 50k car for less than 25k. 25k new is Kia, Mazda, Toyota.Muncher

- I'd buy a pre owned Subaru. Those things last forever, always score high on Consumer Reports, and are known for being reliable - get more for your $ over time.whatthefunk
- 3/5 seriesimbecile
- It seems to me older cars are often better built, newer cars offer bullshit features like the latest Bluetooth connectivity or lame gps_niko
- If you spent $15k on a used Subaru and put the other $10k in a savings account for repairs when needed... it will probably be around longer than you will.nb
- Yeah I quite like Subarus couldn't get a WRX for that kind of money but a decent Impreza is doable_niko
- +1 Subaru, though you'll find that they hold their value well in used market = They're pricey. Good you don't get a WRX. Anything turbo is asking for repairs.monNom
- Buy 2000 Honda, pocket 22kfuturefood
- 2000 year model, last you into next decade ****futurefood
- Lol currently driving a 07 accord, 270k km on it and it feels like it could easily do another 270k!_niko
- old in great condition. but expect to spend $ for garage if you are in NYC ($2400/year in my case) and time on fixing things here and there.pr2
- Hatchback Impreza ftw. Or, just keep that Accord, and buy something cool.section_014
