Buying a New or Used Car?

Don't make a move without reading the April issue of Consumer Reports which rates both new and used vehicles. As part of their expanded coverage of used vehicles, they report that today's 3 year old cars are holding up much better than in previous years as reliability improves. They also document those used vehicles that age gracefully (Toyota Prius) vs. those who show their age quickly (Mini Cooper hatchback). CR identifies the best (Lexus LS) and worst (Jeep Wrangle) of the new cars, as well. They list reliable used cars for every budget so check out their ratings before buying new or used.
