They are correct.
Buy new and you WILL spend the first year sorting out and repairing all the little bugs that WILL crop up.
But, you get the car exactly as you wanted it and you know it has never been abused..........yet.
Buy used and you, hopefully, get a sorted out car that the previous owner fixed or dealt with all the little bugs that cropped up. You will also save lots of money but you might get a car that has been abused somewhere, or not broken in carefully. Read the thread about the guy who bought a car with 1000 miles on the clock and is now rebuilding an aluminum block engine that has scored cylinders.
These cars can be a crapshoot. Most of the owners take very good care of their cars. Have a good mechanic give it the once over if you aren't able to.
I have done both, and have spent the first year fixing/adjusting/repairing to get it to my liking each time. But, this time I have exactly what I wanted.
