I more so meant the age of the vehicles. First car? Ok listen Germans are expensive to buy and even more expensive to maintain out of warranty, buying used is good if you get warranty and you don’t deal with depreciation. I don’t know a lot about Subaru, but I’ve dealt with German and they’re quite finicky. But here’s my opinion. Find a certified dealer who will sell you a car with good warranty if you go used. But honestly unless you’re willing to risk money into losing like half just get something simple and fun. Honestly unless you’re willing to sink money into either be sensible. You’re going to get a payment on a depreciating asset, it’s not the worst thing to do, but you need to be mindful about the cost of ownership. My truck is more expensive to maintain because it’s a performance truck. You’re 18 you will want something different in less than three years I bet. I get buying a cool vehicle but there’s ways to do it smart. I suggest researching the price used and reliability. I get buying the thing that you want but some vehicles are not worth it. I bought my vehicle with three things in mind, it was long term, I can afford maintenance and depreciation and and I knew it would be relatively reliable. If you can’t for sure handle all three don’t buy it
