      I'd think the only only reason it's not recommended as a used car is that the used prices are more than the new-car MSRP. I bought my base-model Fit w/6MT new in Feb 2020 just before the pandemic for $16k and at the height of the car shortage about a year ago they were going for over $20k.

      @leiflillandt1488 6 месяцев назад +3

      As I start(!) to understand "the situation", you should buy something older than from 2008-10. Unfortunately.
      The technique used before 2008 is "quite" simple at least compared to "newer" cars.
      If you buy a newer car and the price is 1,000 USD, you transfer it right away to the scrap yard, when something happens! A smallest repair can cost you 1-2,000 USD. It doesn't matter if the car is small or big, premium or not.
      The big problem will appear when all the 1998-2008/10 cars are at the scrap yard, because they don't last forever, either.
      I have a BMW 528i E39 1997 that I bought maybe 15 years ago, 5,500 USD, now the value of the car is about 2,500 USD... I haven't driven much with it.

    Can't argue with those choices, Toyota, Honda and Mazda lead the pack in quality and practicality. Simple regular maintenance, (like an oil change every 4,000 to 5,000 miles ignoring the "recommended" 10,000 interval marketing ploy) and these last.

They are both due for updating but every time I drive one I’m amazed at how much life is still left in them. As mentioned the key is proper maintenance and also driving them properly. This last point is often overlooked since many skimp on maintenance and it doesn’t work that way! You can’t go wrong!

One is an early 2000's Buick Le Sabre with the 3.8 Liter V6, which was also spoken highly of in the same ways by Brad Danger of "Ideal Media" as well as by Car Wizard. The other is something from the Panther Platform just to use as a beater. And that's just about any of them: Ford Crown Vic, Mercury Marquis/Grand Marquis/'03-'11 Lincoln Town Car just to take down to San Diego when I go down there for work.

    The Mazda 3 and the Honda Civic are small sedans. The Toyota Camry is a midsized car and a lot of car for your money especially if you get the V6, 8 speed transmission with 300 hp. If you don't have that much to spend check out the Mazda CX-30 base model, luxurious interior, 2.5L, 6 speed transmission, 191 hp, AWD. Another economical car to checkout is the Subaru Impreza RS, with the same interior space as the Crosstreck and an upgraded interior, 2.5L, with a CVT, 182 hp, AWD. If you want an economical car long term buy something with a gas engine, non-turbo, non-hybrid, something without a CVT and save yourself future possible repairs.

Used dealers and owner sellers see those prices and they too ask more for their sold by owner cars... The market needs a good shake up... I think 2024 and 2025 will be the years of major auto price shake ups ..let's hope so .. paying 10k plus for a 7 plus year old car is rediculous ... Car prices are easily 35% over their value mark....

It’s a totally impractical vehicle, poor mpg and maintenance issues, but it’s loads of fun to drive, modify, & customize. Jeeps,Bronco’s, Corvettes, Mustangs, etc. are basically adult toys.

    Cars like the Corolla/Civic are no longer considered penalty boxes...they will surprise people of how much room they have inside. Now days cars like the newer Camry/Accord actually have more than generous interior room that is on par with the full size cars from 15 years ago.. Lots of people have bought new Mitsubishi mirage cars here in Arkansas for their teens and I am seeing some with 100,000 miles already with no problems, I wonder if Mitsubishi is a "well kept secrete" that is worth a look? I know they don't cost as much as a Civic/Corolla. We have a Mitsubishi dealer here that is pushing them hard and everyone is buying them...

    The new 2024 Corolla gets the updated 2.0 liter 169 hp duel VVT-i and duel injection system (no carbon build up) along with safety sense 3.0 on all trims including the LE. The CVT gets a true automatic launch gear which reduces strain on the CVT at starts. This made it possible to reduce the size which adds to the reliability long term. just $23,400 and got no mention??
