😂oh yea!

Here are the numbers: Since the start of the pandemic, cars have been in short supply so they are expensive. The cost of living has shot up so people don't have the money to maintain their old cars. The result is really expensive used cars that have had virtually no maintenance done on them, so they are falling apart. When you buy one of them you will suffer frequent problems that will require expensive repairs. Let's say a new car is $30,000 while a 6-year used car in today's market is $20,000. In the past, that used car would have only cost you a much lower $10,000 (1/3 the price of a new one). That used car will need $3,000 in 'extra' repairs (deferred maintenance/repairs); things that were never done by the previous owner that should have been done to it during normal usage. A car usually lasts only 12 years before major repairs (eg: engine & transmission replacement) are required, so if you buy a new car and keep it for 12 years, it will cost you: [ $30,000 price + $3,000 maintenance/repairs in first 6 years + $5,000 maintenance/repairs in last 6 years = total cost of $38,000. If buy two used cars, in the past, each one would have cost you $10,000, and then cost you an additional $5,000 maintenance/repairs in the last 6 years, for a total 6-year cost of $15,000 for each used car. Multiply this by 2 cars and you get a total ownership cost of only $30,000 = a savings of $8,000 over buying new. But if you buy two used cars now, each one will cost you $20,000 to purchase, will break down much more frequently due to lack of maintenance and that fact will then cost you $3,000 more repairs than usual, and then cost you an additional $5,000 maintenance/repairs in the last 6 years (the normal cost of maintenance/repairs for the final 6 years of a vehicle), for a total 6-year cost of ownership of: [$20,000 + $3,000 deferred repairs + $5,000 in normal maintenance/repairs] = $28,000 for each used car. Multiply this by 2 cars and you get a total ownership cost of $56,000 = which is $18,000 more expensive than buying a brand new car. In the past I would always buy a 6-year old Toyota for around $6,000 and drive it for another 6 years. Now I find the same Toyotas costing $12,000 but they are already 12 years old, with almost no life left in them. I just don't see the advantage of buying an old piece of expensive junk when it will cost me way more over 12 years to buy multiple old cars compared to buying just one Brand-New expensive car, so for my next car I will be buying brand new instead of used.

I ended up buying a new small truck. Last time I bought used the car was not properly maintained. Buying new I know what am getting. Im very meticulous on maintenance.

Purchased a 2002 Toyota Tacoma in 2012 for 10K. Can sell it today for the same price. Excluding the TVM used is ALWAYS the way to go if you are diligent. Don’t let current market conditions change your perception.

so it's either brand new or clapbox. not lightly used

Excellent information for all prospective car buyers to consider. You rearranged my attitude.

very helpful video Thanks😊

Every used car is a gable. Possibility of Undisclosed Accidents, shoddy repairs, cheated odometers. If I’m parting with $30k it’s going to be on a brand new one with full waranty. People tend to hold on to good cars for awhile so the chance of getting a lemon is higher when buying used as well. Good vid! Been watching u since CP24!

Treated myself to a new 2018 6 Speed Ford Mustang GT back in 2018. paid it off completely a year and a half later. All warranties in place upon purchase, which wouldn't be the case with a used one. It's my retirement car. I plan to keep it until it drops or I do.

Very useful, helpful video. Thank you 👍😊

There is no point in waiting for a year or so for a new RAV4 . Simply opt for some other Brand , Mitsubishi Outlander is a good option with industry's best warranty and lower interest rate.

Car dealers have learned during the pandemic that they do not have to negotiate, and can even ask over MSRP if they ARTIFICIALLY keep inventory low (or tucked away in offsite). We may not see the return of the old days anymore when you could walk into a Toyota/Honda dealership and haggle for 20 mins before agreeing to a price.

Right on Shari. Your vid’s so helpful. One of the biggest unknowns with buying used for us is how was the engine broken in and serviced by the original owner of the new vehicle. Buy a car with 30K miles for example and most people don’t simply change their oil often enough. If original owners don’t change at 1000 then at 5000 and then at 10,000 miles and then every 5000 after that religiously, car motors will burn up way faster torpedoing the life of the car at 100,000 or less. Transmissions and axle oils need the same attention jus a little less often. We buy new, change oil and filters (air filters too) every 5000 and we drive our cars for decades and into 300,000 miles or more. This is the best strategy for us and it works.

Agree with everything (I also do aggressive maintenance, thus no issues at all for at least a decade), but I buy used - usually cars less than a year old, below 5000 miles, with at least 25% discount - from people that didn't enjoy those cars because they were bought for them by others. So far, so good. No surprises, as I am doing my homework: checking history, papers, mechanics etc. Therefore I do recommend buying used, naturally aspirated engines or hybrids Japanese top reliable cars etc.

Totally agree. 👍🏼 I’ve seen the same evidence while shopping on the lot that you describe.

2010 Honda Accord we bought new, now with 111,000 miles on it, paid off 10 years ago. Plan to keep it a few more years, it runs well and serves our needs. Next one will likely be a small CUV or SUV. We've been setting aside $500 a month in CDs for it, hope to buy it cash down one day.

Over last 10 years have bought several 2-3 year old vehicles with low for age mileage at good prices -- not a single surprise repair cost. All have been exceptionally dependible while I've had them and got good value when selling them.

Excellent advice and video. Dealers are gouging used cars at astronomical levels and there’s no MSRP on a used vehicle so the dealer can’t be charged or sent to prison for charging above list price by the police. 👮🏿 Hopefully Toyota can catch up with Honda on supply and availability. 🤓 💰

We may be days away from a crash, but who really knows, maybe the economy limps along a few more months. I would certainly NOT be paying retail prices at this time. There will be thousands coming off the stickers, is my guess. One good reason to buy used would be that it is something no longer sold these days. Recall a time when we had V6 and V8 choices. Cars had multi-port fuel injection instead of direct injection, most had no turbo, not a load of tech to go wrong, yet still had on-car diagnosis, you did not have to spend $1,000 to replace the windshield due to cameras, and you drove a car instead of a car yapping at you, and wanting to pull the wheel, or brake, and did not have the expense and annoyance of auto-stop/start? Maybe, if it is at all possible to find, a clean car without all the unnecessary and costly stuff of today, would be a find. Recall the day, not all that long ago, one could buy a smooth six cylinder car for less than the price of an i4 1.5LT micro sized engine with a turbo, tethered to a CVT? And you did not have to turn off the auto stop/start every time you drove.

I saved over 6 grand USD on a lightly used cx30 premium (2k miles), so look around for deals.

I was looking to purchase a Prius Prime plug in. A 2022 with 20K, cheapest I could find was $35,500.00 OTD. Not a terrible price considering all things...you like to think anyway. But in 2022, this same car MSRP was $33,750.00 + freight/pdi and HST - $5,000.00 for the government EV incentive. This car out the door after incentive was somewhere around $36,000.00 in 2022. So now presently you can sign for a 2024 Prius Prime SE for $43,000.00 OTD which is cheaper than a second hand 2023 - the catch is the wait time. Depending on the dealer, you can wait well over a year for one. Where i think it makes sense looking at second hand is if you're buying a Tesla Model 3 - these things drop a lot in value. ($33,750.00 + $1850.00 x HST - $5,000.00 incentive

Bullseye on the used Honda CRV with CPO . We recently bought a 2019 CRV EX - 40,0000m , 1 owner who really looked after it . We paid $24,500 . No payments 👍 We’re both 60 , don’t take long road trips , & consider this to be our last car purchase . It’s a lovely car & we’re very happy with it .

Thanks for confirming that. To me it seems the better choice to get the full warranty, full car lifetime, a car with exactly the specs I want and no uncertainty about what the previous owner did to the car or what problems he had. It might indeed cost a bit more, but probably not as much as the all say.

I bought my 2015 Nissan Versa Note as Certified Pre Owned in 2017 with a generous warranty (which I never had to rely on) and paid cash. 60,000 miles later now at almost 90,000 miles I have no regrets. I'll be driving it until the wheels fall off.

2024 Toyota Rav4 XLE is $36,000 2022 Toyota Rav4 XLE is $28,000 with 24,000 miles on it. I would say buying used makes a lot of sense.

Yes. And buying used allows you to research the problems rampant in specific years, and allows you to avoid the bugs of a model's first generation. You can also avoid lot rot or features you loathe. And if you want more choice rather than buying a lookalike vehicle, buy used. I got a much nicer car used than I could ever have afforded new and it is a gem, pre-pandemic, pre-badly-built, pre-chip crisis. It isn't a classic I need to keep in a glass case, which can only be bought now as used. It's a car that can get scratched or dinged or hailed on, and I'm ok with that. I hope it will run with no problems until life settles back into its old ruts and I can afford another oldie but goodie. Vintage can be a lot of fun, such as the discontinued Skoda Yeti. Used may end up the only way to get the manual versions of well-loved cars. If a used car that you paid cash for develops a major problem that has gone undiagnosed by the mechanics, you can dump it with little regret after a year or so, like my Cruze, and be cannier the next time, but if it happens to a new car, like my sister's Cruze, that means keeping it until the payments have ended because you have so much money and time sunk into it. She still has that car she only trusts to go a few miles to work and back, which is very sad when she'd hoped to "drive it until the wheels fell off." (She didn't ask my opinion, but oh well.)

Before buying a car, set your budget limit. Do not make yourself car poor. Once you set your budget, do not go over it, and don't let the salesperson talk you into exceeding your budget. Find the most reliable car you need that suits your budget (new or used). I've seen so many buy luxury cars they couldn't afford to maintain, but they look good in it. Don't be foolish. Its not the monthly payments that gets you, assuming you planned your budget right, its the regular maintenance.

I'm genuinely curious where the Venza falls into this. The depreciation on it seems closer to normal than the Rav4 for sure, making a 2021 Limited falls little over 30k typically. I was looking at used RAV4 hybrids but clearly they don't depreciate in the first couple years right now.

I am about to replace my Infiniti QX70. It is in its 11th yr, 300,000km. I did have a major repair at 260,000 km for the auto-transmission. But I was amazed at its longevity. So I am looking at potentially getting the same car, 60k to 80k km but 6 yrs old, for approx 40% or the price I paid for it new in 2013. I also really like the car. What do you think?

I bought my 2015 Mazda 6 GT in December 2014 brand new and I still own it and drive. I've never had any issues with the car because I took good care of it. If you are like me, keep your car for a long time, then it makes perfect sense to buy it brand new. Had I bought a used one, most likely I would have had many problems and had already gotten another car and wasted plenty of time and money on repairs.

I haven't heard of dealers not accepting cash payments, but what I have learned is that the banks pay the dealers for getting you to finance with them. So if you pay cash, they don't get that money from the bank so they raise the cash price. They sometimes put a clause in the loan for a penalty fee if you pay the loan off early. Dealers want their money, however you choose to pay for a vehicle.

The vehicle was certified. I went to Edmunds' site to rank the deal and it said it was an excellent one and didn't even suggest a haggle price. I'd never seen that before. Unfortunately, they only had one 2020 low-mileage Trax, otherwise I'd have bought two. The 2024 Edmunds ranked as a fair deal and I made the counteroffer based on its suggestion. We went back and forth a few times and I got them down to essentially what Edmunds suggested. The reason I bought two vehicles isn't because I'm rich. I drove a 14-year- car and my wife's was a 2001 - yes, 2001 - model. So it was time. Plus, I inherited some money, so I was able to pay cash. But since I bought two cars, had a budget based on the inheritance money and didn't want to use any of my own funds, that's why I bought the two Trax, as they were the lowest cost vehicle that met our needs. If I was only buying a single vehicle, then yes, I'd have bought something in a higher class. But so far, each seems to be doing very well. At our current ages, we don't drive much. I work from home and my wife is retired, so neither vehicle will be overly taxed with a lot of driving.

Of course then their was overselling other add-ons. When I asked about the OMVIC rules for price advertising most of the responses were to read the fine print about financing. Financing rates were 10%. I finally got a dealer that stayed to the advertised price and dropped any suggested add-ons upon request. A shout out to Grimsby Hyundai for being the kind of dealership of old. I have no affiliation with the aforementioned business..just got a 1 year old hybrid at a fair price. Shop around..the internet is a great tool.

As long as the ad discloses that the price is a financing price, it is allowed under OMVIC. I still consider it a red flag and a sign of a dealer you want to be careful dealing with.

I don’t live in Canada, but your tips are still really helpful!

Great info, but best watched at 1.5x speed 🏃‍♂️💨

Have you tried Global Dominion Financing Inc. for car financing or car refinancing (Sangla OR/CR)?

I've been searching for another SUV. Losing my mind because once I see a pre owned or used one I like, I'm also searching recalls to make sure there weren't any significant safety recalls. Some recalls are minor but some are very concerning in certain vehicles. Also, I'm not keen on getting an SUV that has a CVT transmission based on everything I've read so I'm ruling out Subaru now. Anyway, for anyone looking at Honda's I suggest you research the latest news on all of the safety investigations happening due to serious injuries and crashes on certain vehicles - some are CRV's. I was very surprised to find out about this. Always put Honda's and Toyota's on the top of the reliability and safety list but . . .

it all depend on your pockets!

I bought a new Corolla a few months ago and the difference between brand new and one I found that only had 3000 miles on it was $500 ($1500 w/destination). I can’t wrap my head around it, it’s wild that use car values can be so high.

A well maintained Corolla can easily surpass 400,000 miles with proper maintenance. They are excellent vehicles. Although I think the older ones were built much better.

The way to make this depreciation feel easier is buy a car and keep it. Don’t trade it or sell it ever. This move will make you smarter than the average joe.

I'm buying a new honda pilot because i want to drive for 13 to 15 yrs. Depends on how long you want to go and how much you can afford.

Cars depreciate, so the less you ‘invest’ in one the less you will lose. So the only question is, what can you live with?

Just do your homework and see where your finances fit. Every situation is different.

New cars always have higher insurance remember that

So are you saying if you have the cash for a brand new car, get a brand new car?

Buying new makes more sense. But if you don’t have enough money, a used one would do. Best is to have a good mechanic inspect the used car properly before buying it so you’ll have less hassle in the long run.

I guess it also makes senses to buy your leased car if you started leasing before the pandemic.

In EU we put 20-30% upfront in car. Doesn’t matter used or brand new 😂🎉

CPO’s always makes sens when the price is right!

Many CPOs are also a scam.

Try to get a company car. Best of both worlds.

Auto insurance is the biggest reason I stay away from new cars… I’ll stick with any pre 2010 mint condition car with 40$ insurance

Do you believe I bought my Mazda CX -3 in 2013 and tell now I didn't use the warranty 😎

But if you buy one of these popular models new, aren’t you liable to pay a hefty dealer markup?

Used car only within a year or two could be okay providing no accident history, service records and remaining warranty but interest rates are double than brand new so some customers end up buying mediocre brands like Mitsubishi, Ford or GM products

Obviously Shari is correct about the current used car market being very over priced due to supply shortage. I agree that, yes, the used car market probably will not "crash", but I feel we need to understand that the market will not be like this forever. What goes up must come down, and the market will eventually return to close to normal. No, this will probably not be in the form of a crash, but it is likely to slowly continue to trend down over the next couple of years as it has been for several months now. So for young people hearing this, this principle is likely not one that you should follow for the rest of your life (buy new, not used), but only for the next year or two. Also, I feel it is important to point out, that in any market there are opportunities. Ok, so everyone likes hybrids, Toyotas, Hondas, Subarus, and crossovers. Well consider buying a used Chevy Bolt. 12 of them started on fire a few years ago an now everyone is afraid of them. You can get a used one for under 15K plus you can get a $4,000 tax credit. Obviously, the Bolt is not for everyone. I'm just saying that it may be worth your wile to check for opportunities like this.

@carhelpcorner

Ай бұрын

A lightly used Bolt is a good example, especially if you get one that received a brand new battery under the recall.

The best reasons for buying a used car is reliability and longevity. The number of new car models that will never make it to 100k miles has skyrocketed. Electrical gremlins and engine/trans issues plague new models. They're too complicated and connected. The rapid trend to turbocharged cars with smaller displacement engines and CVT transmissions means a large number of these new models will require prohibitively expensive repairs -- often before the car is 10 years old..

Still a lot of demands for these cars, at least here in Canada. If you are willing to pay at least the asking price, dealers knows that someone else in more of an hurry to get a vehicle will pay the asking price and the BS dealership addons too.

Trucks are the most popular category of vehicles and have better resale.

I was checking old car prices, not reasonable prices

If I were a KZreadr, I would have made the same video as this one you made. You nailed it. I was in the market for a compact car. I first looked at used and found out they cost only a few thousands less than new with heavy mileage. New car has more attractive interest rate for financing. I bought a new car. Years ago, used car makes more sense and they used to cost a lot less than new. Not now.

On the other hand when you buy a new car you know you're not buying somebody else's problems

Well, you can't really have a general rule, you just have to look at individual deals. I recently bought a popular and reliable car less than 3 years old for $24.5K with only 17K miles on it, certified and with all recommended maintenance done. If I had bought it new the price of the vehicle itself would have been about $33K and then $2000 destination which brings it to $35K. I got 5.5% financing. Not great but pretty good these days. Also, the newer more expensive car would have higher insurance premiums and registration. Yes, almost 1/2 of the warranty period is up but still with over $10K savings I think I got a better deal.

@carhelpcorner

Yes in this case the deal made sense so I would agree

All the prices you show are from the manufacturers websites and they do NOT include TAXES so right off the bat we are getting a skewed picture of the REAL price. Right now is a TERRIBLE time to buy a used car bc the prices have NOT GONE DOWN. We know that. But now is a very unusual time in the auto industry bc buyers have FINALLY woken up to how screwed they have been getting and they aren't buying. DON'T BUY 'TIL JUNE or DEC ❗❗❗
