blake has a point in terms of control, but the truth is it's an odds/maths game and the maths favor those who buy used. buy used. the markup on new is a joke and new is for suckers.

-t. 1996 ford contour with 50k miles that hasn't seen a shop for years, $1200 after some flirtations
I got it for half off the sticker price though.

Nice miles on the contour, old couple?

My golden rule is:

Find a model that I like, that is about to get a new design (that happens like every 4 years for a model?)

Then find a car that is 1 year or less old of that last year for that model.

You get like 20k off! It's amazing. That's my secret, Ive done it twice! It really works!

buy a car that you will want to fix and maintain even if it is a 1981 model

Congrats. What caught your eye with the Subaru specifically?

It felt the most upscale in the interior and was the smoothest/best drive of the three. They also had a promotion where I got 1.9% interest rate vs a 3.9% if I went with the Honda or Toyota. Its 9 dollars more than I wanted to spend a month but considering the interest rate and the car having all the key features I wanted, it was an easy decision. I'll try and post my own pics of the beast if I get a chance.

buy used. I hear people say that your getting damaged goods, but not so. Say for example you want to buy a new car, the same model/year car will sell for about 2000 less just because somebody used it for one week, and brought it back.... as it's not new. So, in any case, try to find the car you want if new with like less than 1000 miles on it or something. Buying new is strictly for rich people who just want the new thing. People on any type of budget should never consider wasting such money.

Now, I would never buy a sports car used however. Common sense.
