New. I won't buy used cars any more just because I like the warranty on new cars. Monthly car payments are a heck of a lot easier to budget than unexpected repairs.

very true...the warranty can save you a bunch of headaches when something goes wrong...maintenance is one thing, but transmissions problems, radiator, air conditioning seem to haunt used cars...and those problems will seem to cost you more in the long run... thanks for your response...

Actually, issues like the ones you listed is the exact reason I started buying new cars. I had a Ford Mustang I bought used for $1,200. In the two years I had it, I spend $5,000 in repairs....while in college on a limited income..

I bought used the last time I bought a car... already sold it and came in profit too... I prefer to buy used because I get tired of the same car ... and I prefer to change cars very fast... usually I don`t use a car... as driving isn`t one of my best qualities... loooool... also had my drivers license suspended...

good luck and have fun...car buying can be very tiring and stressful...do your homework online...know your budget and your needs...dont buy into upgrades that dont suit your needs/wants from a car... what cars do you have in mind.?. let us know if you find success in vehicular purchasing this weekend...
