I just got a new car for the first time in my life. I was driving a beat up 2005 Mazda that was falling apart by last week. My biggest concern is theft honestly. Parking isn’t usually a huge deal in my neighborhood, my partner has a nice 2018 Honda that’s gotten a few scratches here and there but nothing that can’t be buffed out or fixed. At least a new car comes with a warranty should anything go wrong, and it’s nice to treat yourself.
