We’re sure you know buying a new car is not necessarily always a good idea, and the strength behind the decision really relies on a series of factors that need to favorably line up to get the full thumbs up.
For instance, it’s wiser to buy a car right at the end of its active showroom life. That’s because a) you can haggle more and get more off because they need to make room for the replacement and b) it features all the improvements the manufacturer has done over the years.
Buying an old car is far trickier, but if you play your cards right and know the sector of the used market you’re in, then the reward can be proportional to the difficulty. It also requires much more knowledge on the buyer’s part, as no two second-hand sales will ever be the same.
The CarThrottle video posted below advocates for this and more, saying older cars are the only cars to buy (for enthusiasts) who want to improve a car.
