[Closed] buying a new car......thoughts.

Like all cars the yeti is a colection of compromises which ones suit best is entirely down to the person choosing. If the opinion of some buffoon on the tv influences that decision for some either way who cares?
It drives well but its no sports car. Its spacious inside but its not a van or huge estate. Its got a small foot pront for a 4x4 alike but its no super mini.

I would never buy new as you take the biggest depreciation hit. 2-3 year old is my sweet spot so you can have any work resolved under warranty whilst benefitting from other people taking the price drop of the depreciation.

This!
I can't understand why anyone would spend [i]their own money[/i] on a new car that'll lose a large chunk of it's value as soon as it leaves the forecourt.
It ain't going to stay pretty for long...
