It depends on how much you ？
drive your car in a day.
If you don't drive much, a new used car may be fine,
if you drive a lot, a new car may be better.
Also, I have heard that many people lease cars on this island.
If you don't want to lower the value of your car, it is recommended to maintain it regularly.

I agree with a user.

It would also depend on the budget of the topical user.

A friend of mine who bought a used Nissan for $10,000 had to pay several thousand dollars to have it repaired a few months later.

I have only ever bought new cars and have never taken them in for repairs.

I think it would be a waste of time and money to take an Uber or rent a car while it is being repaired.

I think it is a good idea to go to the car shop of your choice and see what they have to offer, test drive it and get their opinion.

It seems like about half of the people who drive BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes are leasing.

It would be very difficult to buy a used car and have it hazed. I will take your opinion into consideration. Thank you.

In my case,
I bought a Note 2014 from Hertz with about 2 years old, 21,000 miles on the rental car.
It was just under $16,000 including warranty, etc.

Maintenance ・ Repairs are basically done at a Nissan dealer.
Repairs large and small have come in so far. Oil changes, tire changes, batteries, of course, but also suspension parts replacement, paint baldness repair, etc. In about 8 years, I have spent $8,000.

Insurance is about $700 a year with StateFarm, and taxes and inspection are about $300, or $1,000 a year.

Finally, gasoline is $70 per month for a Town to Kaneohe commute.

So
initial investment $16,000 and running costs for the next 8 years （ not including gas ） are about the same.

For reference.

Toyotas are very popular in Hawaii.

A friend of mine drove a Toyota for 15 years and sold it for a quarter of the price he paid for a new one.

After the Corona, rental cars were unusually expensive and there may have been a lot of demand.

If you drive it nicely （ No smoker, No pets ) Considering that you can sell it for a good price, I think leasing it is a waste.

Your opinions are helpful.
You're right. Cars are hit or miss. Japanese cars are hard to break and easy to sell. That's why they are popular.

If you are planning to sell your car, Toyota is the best choice. Mileage is not so important unlike in Japan.

If the goal is to sell the car later, I think Toyota is the best choice, whether it is a new or used car. The Honda Odyssey was bought by a cab company, and with its own maintenance, it has been revived and is in demand in its own right. I feel like my car is a bit like a horse. By the way, the old Japanese Honda scooters like the Rattata and Tact still cost buyers about $3000 $ over here because they have more horsepower and longer life than a 50cc moped with a 95cc engine upgrade.
