Used cars are just cars that were, at some point in history, nice cars. I suppose it depends on how well the owner or owners take care of it during their possession. Routine oil changes, tire rotations, maintenance on brakes, fluids, periodic interior cleaning and vacuuming.
I agree with this. My car has been wrecked twice, from the rear, which wasn’t my fault and from the front, which was my fault as I was depending on drive assist while posting an article here. Obviously, that was wrong. Thankfully, I have expensive insurance and I unapologetically used it. The point is, my car has been heavily damaged over the last 4 years so I’m not sure it will out-live me and I can’t afford another.
