Would you rather buy a brand new car (virgin) or a used second hand car (non-virgin)?

Let's break this down. BRAND NEW: pros: Its brand new! Everything is guaranteed to be fresh, new and original - Agreed 0 mileage - goes without saying no hidden defects or anything....UNTRUE.

How many brand new recalled Toyotas have you seen this year? New cars break down all the time. Have you ever been to a Lexus dealer service department?

They are just as busy as the Chevy dealer or CARMAX. Cons: we have to face depreciation, which sucks - True but that isn't all. You pay way more for the car, You pay for it longer (loan terms are generally longer) and your insurance is more expensive SECOND HAND: pros: relatively cheap compared to a brand new one.

- TRUE but that isn't all. You can get a great used car with a warranty that will last you just as long as a new car if you shop smart. The car will look just as good, ride just as good and last just as long.

Cons: you'll never know whats hidden underneath _ UNTRUE - If you do your research and you inspect the car you'll end up with very few if any "hidden" flaws. Been used already - Goes without saying but that isn't necessarily a negative. Sellers say lies - UNTRUE assumption.

You can't assume that every person selling a car is a liar. There are thousands of good people selling good cars. You just have to be a good judge of character.

There is alos no guarantee that the new car salesman is being truthful either. Different parts from unknown sources - What does that mean? Are you assuming that parts you buy from Autozone are somehow all inferior and should not be sold?

That is a moronic statement. I worked at a GM dealer for a decade and if we didn't have a part in stock we went righ to the NAPA store to buy one. The parts were manufactured in the same factory and put in a differnt box depending on who they were selling them to.

A used car is a smart financial choice. If you care about driving a good car and saving money and not superficial things like "it's been used" then a quality used car is the best choice. But in the end it's your money.

If you're an experienced driver, looking to buy a long-term car, and you say that money is not an issue, then I would definately urge you to buy a brand new car. I have bought both used cars and brand new in the past, and the brand new one has been the most reliable and served me the longest. You may be able to save money buying a recent used car, though as you stated, the previous owner may sell you lies, and you'll end up spending lots on repairs.

Go on, treat yourself to a BRAND NEW CAR!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
