  • I’ve bought at least a couple of 1-2 year old cars before.

    In the 2 I can remember off the top of my head the only thing wrong with either of them was higher than average miles… Everything else basically felt like a brand new car for significantly cheaper.

    Although, the last time I did that was 20 years ago when I bought a 2 year old pickup truck for way less than a new one would’ve been.

    These days it would make more sense to go new since the pricing on used vehicles that are still that new is so close in comparison to the new vehicle, particularly since you can often get lower rate financing and other incentives when purchasing new that you don’t get on used.


  • I’ve owned lots of Fords in the US over the years and there’s nothing worse about them than any other manufacturer as a general rule.

    Sure, there are exceptions and people will always take their own anecdotal experiences to heart as indicative of larger problems as a whole with a manufacturer but they make fine vehicles.

    In fact, one of my current vehicles is a 2011 Escape that I’ve had for years and I’ve got no major problems with or complaints about it.
