Hello all, I have to buy a car for the winter semester. I would drive that at least until the end of my studies (about 3 years still). But now the question arises whether it is worth buying a new car. In the eye I currently have the new SEAT Leon SC 3Türer 1.2 TSI. Is there an EU new car for just over 10k€, if I did not understand something wrong. If I look at older used models the prices for acceptable vehicles are 5k-6k€. I would get the new car, then I get the after 3 years with ~35000km on the Km-Stand still loosely for min. 6k€ away again if nothing bigger happens. The used for 5-6k would be already min. In 2nd hand, would have another 35km on KM-Stand and 3 years older. In addition, I probably have to go to the workshop more often when used. A new car loses a lot of value after the first kilometers, but at prices for 10k would have to get almost the same out of it. You’d rather pay 1000€ more after the 3 years and have a new car with warranty than a used one for 6k€ which is only worth 2-3k after your studies. Hope one can tell me if I have a big mistake in thinking or if I’m right. Thank you
