Re: Used cars vs. new ones
Leasing is the reason I buy new nowadays. Modern cars "don't need running in" which seems to mean many leasers put their foot down hard from new, in the period when gentle treatment makes a big difference.
The last non-new car we bought had been bought by an old guy who had promptly got ill, and died two years later, and when we got it, the engine was still a bit stiff. What I hadn't thought of till it died on us the next year, was that the item that really, really doesn't like being left for ages is the battery. Other than that, it was absolutely fine.
