Buying a used car !

If you want to buy a car ,I think the used car is better for you .I have bought a used car .In my opinion,I consider the second car is the best choice in Australia!
Because new cars always easy became old.And the new car,s rate of depreciation is high.After you bought a new car one month,if you want to sell it.It will get a lot of depreciation.Maybe it is offered 60%.You will lose much money .For instance,if the is broken,it must be old.So it will be low price.So buy the used car is economic choice.
