If you want a good cheap car, Nissan have been great. We bought an X-trail in 2017. Have been very happy.
I would steer clear of a new car for a couple of years. You are going to overpay for it in todays market and Id only buy one if I had to.
Yep, I agree, and you will get ripped off on trade ins as well, they are offering 3/5ths of feck all and then reselling them like they are gold plated!
I'm anticipating some interesting 2nd hand offerings in a very short period on some electrics as well, charging and battery tech is moving rapidly ahead but the cars being sold are not really cheaply or easily upgradeable. In the USA there is already a Tesla after-market / wrecking business that customises and resells cars that only a few year ago were cutting edge. Nobody wants the 2nd hand cars themselves, but they are ripping the guts out and putting them in Land Rover Troupees, old Corvettes or Hot Rod type custom bodies.
