I only buy 5-6 years, or even older cars ...
If my old lady allows me. And I will only buy Camry, Accord, Corolla. At present time, 2000 Camry/Corolla/civic/accord, is almost as reliable as new. All I need is a car that I drive to work( Corolla, perfect) and antoher one to do shopping during weekends--a little bigger car, like a Camry. I really don't see the point of buying a new car...the smell, the cost, you have to be carful about where you park the damn thing...and 3 years later, it is no longer looking new...
