She wasn’t savvy about cars so the maintenance was neglected. In 7 years she only did 2 oil changes and filter. When she traded it in ‘21. The dealer offered her $17,500 because the car was used by a “grandma”. Lol.

@@marco1985e You're assuming those who buy new cars can afford them, and those who buy used cars can't afford new cars. That is a wrong assumption. You often can't tell how wealthy or poor someone is by what the way they dress or by the vehicles they drive. Those who consistently live below their means become wealthy, and those who have the habits of spending more than they have become poor.

There are a lot of problems with many dealers. But it shouldn’t exactly be a quick process. Buying a car is a lot of money. Everyone should make an informed decision and informed decisions don’t come quickly. You’re about to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a depreciating asset.

Car rental agencies to buy a vehicle? No, Heck NO!!! Vehicle History report? Not everything is reported. Especially when the owner tries to be sneaky and repairs said vehicle on their dime(at a cheaper garage/cheaper parts). Best advice? Do your due diligence!!! Get a professional to go over the vehicle(if you aren't well versed), you are trying to purchase to look at paint, panel/metal gaps, uneven tread depth(sketchy if the vehicle in question has new tires), suspension, rust, etc.. Even/especially dealerships, will try to hide these things. Why? Because at the end of the day, they are just a business, looking to profit.

Best time to buy a new car is never. My last new car was a lease in 2002. My present 2010 was purchased used 5 years ago, has 275,000 miles and runs great with regular oil changes and little else. Basic insurance is cheap cause I'm older and have a clean driving record which leaves money left over to enjoy on other activities. Plenty of good older models available for under $5k. Pay cash.

People complain, and yet they still buy. Its not like the best selling car has become the Corolla, civic, or hrv if people wanted affordable cars. Also 20k cars are literally gone. 25k-28k is basically the new “affordable”. Also if people bought affordable cars, trucks wouldn’t be the best-selling cars in the U.S., period, because of how expensive they’ve become and how most people buying have no reason to own one.

Mileage: Rental cars often have higher mileage than other used cars because they're often used for long trips. Warranty: Rental cars may be out of their factory warranty, especially if they have high mileage. Options: Rental cars are usually basic models with few options.
