Should you buy a new or used, gas or electric vehicle?

If you're looking for a new car, now might be the time to make the move as prices for new and used automobiles are stabilizing after years of soaring prices, but vehicle buyers aren't out of the woods yet. David Lazarus reports for KTLA 5 News at 10, Feb. 2023.

Gas….unless you want to be forced to buy a new battery in 7-9 years💯

[stansbornak]

Don't buy anything....the market is gonna take a dump!

[mhaas]

I paid off my car 6 months ago. I plan on keeping it as long as it continues to treat me good.

A guy with an F-150 was chasing my uncle just because he drives an electric. After a lawsuit for harassment my uncle now got that guy's F-150 as restitution.

Buy electric. It’s a blast 💥🔥 literally. You never know when it’ll catch fire.

Pay in cash. Pay in cash. Save and save. Buy used from a reputable manufacturer. Toyota, honda. Sacrifice for a few years. If you have 20k in cash, don't put it down on a 80k car. Buy a 20k car....
No one cares what car you drive.

[baileyward]

No, wrong again. It is a BUYERS MARKET. Don't believe me, take cash in hand, and watch these "dealers"(scammers) bend over for it.

Looking at BMWs is a good decision??? mmmmkay

[Wildhorse]

So Cali can't keep the power on and think banning gas cars is a good idea 🤔

[derrickquintero]

'That's a conversation? That's not an answer.' David don't play. Hundred thousand/eighty thousand no deal

[midnightsmoker]

Only an idiot would buy a car right now. Prices are still too high, Interest rates are high and inventory is low. It's a perfect storm to rip off dumb people. Wait until dealers are hurting and have sat on new inventory for months and they'll eventually have no choice but to start dealing.

I own a gas guzzling Dodge Dually and I love it 😀

[jeffnduran]

I'm buying a mustang gt this year.

Stay away from biodegradable BMW’s! You’ll have lakes of oil on your driveway. Also the head gasket blowing 1.5l turbo Honda Accords. As a mechanic, i get cars super cheap. I bought a 07 Toyota corolla S for $300, i have driven across the US 3 times in it with zero problems! 350, xxx miles and going strong!! Everything works perfectly. Looks pretty good as well. Installed a i-pad as my radio, pioneer speakers all around and a 12 inch kicker L7 square. $50, 000 average car prize? lmao!!!

Endless money pits. Even for 80 you can shove it

[blazing_Slots]

The dealers hide inventory on secret lots and always tell you there is no inventory and they made monopoly for consumers

[Ryan-ixdt]

Stay away from bmw. Only people who know nothing about cars but those.

[bobbowie]

Every EV owner I know still has an ICE vehicle for trips, etc.. EVs are expensive toys.

[anthonymartinez]

Absolutely no especially at these overpricing over already inflated prices. If you like giving thousands in unnecessary Tip go for it.

I bought a used Jag for 3k- it originally sold for 67k including inflation im pushing my first 100k whip
