[00:03] You should really consider buying a new car if you are truly going to own it forever. If you're going to get 20 plus years out of a car, the five or eight or doesn't matter quite as much. You're going to fully depreciate the car
[00:16] anyway. You should probably buy a new car if the idea of buying used just stresses you out to a really, really high level. You don't have to be stressed out by it. There are ways to make your used car buying experience
[00:28] better. And there are some significant advantages to buying a used car. So, the biggest advantage is obviously price. Used cars are cheaper than new cars. Before you go and buy a car, you try to read a lot of stuff online about what to
[00:42] knocking or ticking that which could become a problem, suspension sounds, that kind of thing, how to read a Carfax report. Try to bring along a friend who has some mechanical knowledge. Do research on makes and models and years
[00:55] of cars that are generally pretty reliable. Buying a car that is relatively not that old, with relatively low miles, cared for by someone who cares about the car. You're buying the seller. Buying from someone who takes
[01:07] bad Craigslist photos with their thumb over the license plate, you're talk that's someone lazy. To make used cars even more attractive, automakers offer this thing called certified pre-owned, which is basically a used car warranty
[01:20] that extends the new car warranty and gives you kind of automaker backed piece experience a little bit easier and a little bit more tenable.
