I never buy 1st year models because of possible bugs . The last year of a particular gen you get the best car with the most features thrown in ,offering the best value . But I've never waited that long to buy . I usually buy by the 3rd year of a model run . Things are pretty well sorted by then . The only maker I MIGHT buy on the 1st year is Ford . They are better at getting the bugs out before release of a new model .( Some cars are worth alot more than $ 10,000 to me . Back at you O.D.
