    I’ve never bought a new car in my life. Always bought old bangers. Because I hated needing a car and I wanted to waste the least amount of money on it.

    Now I haven’t owned one in almost 9 years and I’m much happier. But I live in a city with amazing public transport.

      I grew up in carbrain suburban hell and i bought a shiny new car as soon as i got my first real job.

      Fortunately for me, my carbain wasnt so rotted that i couldnt see the folly in my purchase after just a few months. I vowed never to buy another new car off the lot again. My next car would definitely be used!

      fast forward 8 years, i ended up moving to a city with decent transit and bikes, so i sold that first, shiny, new car… and i never needed to buy that next used car.
