This is my experience...

take it if you're looking at best value for money

I recently purchased 1 year old myvi 1.3 ezi premium. Cost 40k but here in East Msia, it cost 53k. I have another 1 year warranty. Once I have the car, I changed one damaged tyre, went to SC to get rid of rear interior noise (but in the end I solved myself) since still have one more year warranty.

The car mileage when I purchase is 23k km, fairly good, well kept and regularly service. Well, think about it, I have just saved 13k and I can afford to pay lesser or take shorter loan, i took the latter.

I can afford to trade in this car for better car in the future sooner!
The fact is
car resale value drops from 10-20% once the new car is driven out from the showroom. Then for the following year, the drop of resale value will be slower and slower... So why absorb the major impact?!

it's true that second hand car may be good value for your money but i have my reservation mainly because it is priceless to have a worry free mind about the history of the car and the fact that you are the first user. it's something like choosing between a virgin lady and an experienced lady.
