It is generally better to buy a used car that is more than 3 years old. Here is a detailed introduction to the age of used cars: 1. Used cars within 1 year: The condition is generally problem-free, and they still enjoy the warranty service of a new car, offering high usage value but at a relatively higher price. 2. Used cars between 2-3 years: The vehicle has passed the break-in period, offering a higher cost-performance ratio and relatively good condition. 3. Used cars between 4-6 years: They are more affordable, and if well-maintained, their performance can still be above average. 4. Used cars between 7-10 years: They are cheaper, but maintenance costs may be slightly higher. 5. Used cars over 10 years: The safety and reliability of the vehicle may be somewhat compromised.
