Hi I plan to buy a car which is going to last me a long long time. I’m not one that changes cars often just got rid of my car from college. The car I’m looking at has a 2021 refreshed model although I’m searching for a CPO. Should I buy an older model 2018/2019 or get a refreshed 2021 since it’s a long term car. Advise?

If you want to keep a car long term don’t go German

Buy used. Preferably low-mileage sedans just off of lease. Sedans depreciate more quickly than SUVs and typically cost less.

Look for vehicles with a transferable warranty.

Op — then get a minivan. More room and better gas mileage than an SUV.

Back when I was traveling, I would almost always choose a Chrysler Pacifica if it was available in the Hertz President’s Circle. Great vehicle.

Is there a reason you decided not to just post the type of car you’re looking at in the original post?

If you want it to last as long as possible buy new. If you want to ‘spend’ the least amount per year of the car but 1-2 years used low mileage.

Yeah many contradictory statements bundled together. If you want to get a long long time suv go for a 4 runner. If you want to look fancy but change in a couple of years go Q5

Seconding the GX460. I just bought one over the summer and I’m not sure I’ll ever want to get rid of it. The durability of these things is unmatched. But if you’re looking for a vehicle with the latest technology the GX is not it. The 2021’s still don’t even come with apple car play.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?
