How old were you when you bought your 1st new car?

[JR Hartley]

As per title just interested to see how old people were before they decided to buy a brand new car? (And what was it!?)

[Marquis_Rex]

I've yet to reach that level of stupidity yet...

I never have, probably never will. My parents haven't yet either and they're in their late 50's.

^^ What 'ee said. I'm 22, and I don't intend to ever buy a new car - don't really see the point considering the depreciation. Never got a loan or finance to buy a car, either.

Just starting a new job, and needed a decent car to commute in, so decided to get a Brand New car - only a little Metro City, but at the time it was OK.

Have had new cars since, but unlikely to again.

Had a few brand new company cars when I was in my early twenties (Golf GTI, BMW 323, Lexus is200), which was nice. Since the co car tax laws pretty much precluded getting anything interesting, I've always bought used cars for around £10 - £15k. There is just no point sinking a load of deprecation into something that I'm going to flog up & down motorways every day.

So, the short answer is I have never bought a new car & probably never will

At 20, me and the GF bought a brand new Fiesta 1.1 Pop Plus. (1987).

This, unless my plans (and aims) change rapidly - on the same scale as winning the lottery...

[jdbecks]

Never have and never will, unless I win the lottery

[nobodyknows]

nearest to new were a 12mth old BMW 330D @ 32 and an 18mth old Impreza Turbo (classic shape)@ 28 - I manage to lose a frightening amount of money on cars without buying new thanks!
