That’s my #1 pet peeve about jalopnik/oppo. I once got talked down to because i,bought a car brand new.....like, motherfucker do you know where used cars come from? You want a used fiesta ST? Someone had to buy it new....

Remember. You have to voice with your wallet. Chevy doesn’t care you would buy one used. Also, wouldn’t a test drive tell you if it drives badly?

To be fair, I don’t read this as “I won’t buy a new one”, I read it as “I won’t buy the first model year”.

Buying used does have some affect on car buying by keeping resale values high, then people buying new aren’t as concerned knowing they can sell for more (see the Jeep Wrangler). But yea, voting directly with your wallet is still much much better. I just wish I could afford to vote with my wallet. I want to get a RWD or AWD 4dr manual sporty car for my next vehicle, unfortunately most everything in that category is $30k or more. More than I am willing to spend on a vehicle at this point.

That’s sad. I’m sorry. I’d love to buy a new vehicle and take proper care of it from day 1. I don’t like fixing previous owners’ mistakes and quick fixes.

For a used car to exist someone had to buy it new. Back in 2014 I was having a hard time finding the perfect M3, I wish I had been able to buy my E90 new.

I would love a lot of new cars but I wouldn’t want to be the one to suffer the tragic depreciation.

That commenter probably can’t either.

This guy is an idiot, but this is an issue.

-enthusiast wants car

-enthusiast spends all their money on enthusiasm

-enthusiast can’t afford to buy new car that they are enthusiastic for, having spent their money on their enthusiasm for the old one

-non enthusiast doesn’t buy cool car

-manufacturer loses money and never makes that kind of car again

-enthusiast haz a sad

Still, someone has to take that one for the team too.

Sometimes I wonder if these people have even driven a manual. I’m fairly certain the slushy feeling gearbox and super light clutch will not bring a smile to your face.

I have bought two new cars in my life. One is a manual wagon, and I wish I had bought the auto. Does that make me a bad person? I think it does.

motherfucker do you know where used cars come from

That ’ s one of my favorite books, Samuel Jackson and the NADA Research Team are a synergistic editorial powerhouse.

Confession time: I bought all of my cars new and kept them forever. I *sob, sniff* never even worried about depreciation!

I just sit here in a puddle of my own shame tears while I wait for the shock troops to come take my Jalop card.

Man, fuckin’ new car buyers...newbies. They ruin everything for everyone! Not like us true blue jalops who give the auto industry we love the finger for not making things it can’t turn a profit on. No diesel commuter car? FUCK YOU CHEVROLE-you have one, you say? Oh. Well.

Still not buyin’ it new. Pfft. Newbie sellouts.

Well, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much...

One of them has to sell their beloved two-seater mid-engined sports car for a minivan. New, of course.

Isn’t this the exact reason why you test drive the vehicle before you buy it?
