Lots of reasons to buy new and used.

My wife and I recently bought our youngest son a car. He wanted something cheap for around $2500-$3000. We decided to get him a new subcompact car for lots of reasons.

1. Cost to repair is higher on a used car versus a new car with a warranty. My son needs financial help if the car breaks down, so who knows what a used car would have cost over the next 3-5 yrs in repairs.
2. The new car has 7 airbags including a knee bag.
3. The new car gets 35 mpg average with 40+ mpg on the highway.
4. The new car model is just one step above baseline but has a ton of features - alarm, electric locks, Bluetooth, backup camera .. on and on.
5. The new car (2017) was under $14k out the door.
6. Makes us feel better that he has a new more reliable car (for now).

As was said by many, we do this because we can and we want to do it.

New 2017 F250 diesel.....

Nice ride!  Too soon for me to look, a couple of friends have 2017 F150s. Good looking trucks.

I finance the truck because I get a much lower rate them my stocks are making and my company can write the loan off.

I bought a new F-150 Platinum in April.  With the 0.99 financing from my Credit union it would have been stupid to pull money out of my investments, which have returns of over 10% this year.

They also gave my really good money for the 06 diesel I traded on it.
