Why does anyone buy a brand new car?
(Real question not political one): why, when you know you’re burning your £ in a toilet because as soon as it’s delivered to you it is worth much less than what you paid, what’s the motivation that makes this make sense is it the nice smell?
I’ll answer even though your question isn’t exactly genuine is it!
Why not buy new? Just because it’s not your choice, it doesn’t make it the wrong decision for someone else. We all prioritise different things (if we can).
I know people that would never dream of buying a new car but they spend any spare cash they’ve got on stuff I give no shits about.
I’ve got a new car on PCP so in reality I’ll never own it and I’ll probably hand it back in a couple of years for a fully electric car.
I wouldn’t buy a new car outright and next time will probably lease as I might be able to do that on a salary sacrifice scheme.
I love it, it’s gorgeous. It’s comfortable, it’s lovely to drive, it has sensors and camera to help me park.
I don’t have to MOT it and my service is included in the finance and because of my warranty, most issues would be covered and wouldn’t cost me anything.
So I pay a high monthly amount for no hassle. I’ve had car after car that I’ve had to spend loads on and it makes me anxious. I’m sick of breaking down, worrying, spending money on repairs or scrapping cars.
I have to drive for work and am based over four counties at the moment so if I’m going to spend hours and hours in my car I’ll make sure I enjoy it.
Plus, as others have said, used cars are really expensive right and with finance deals it’s probably cheaper to buy new.
