Indeed, my first used car that was otherwise in good repair and wasn't cheap had a recurring carpet beetle infestation that popped up each spring. Hundreds of the things crawling out of every crevice, and there was no way to know about it until months after I had purchased the vehicle. Could never find the source, but got it managed with yearly treatment. It makes me quite reluctant to buy used cars again.
- roundandround 3y agoI've occasionally heard of those kinds of problems from acquaintances, but I've heard and seen so many more newly introduced defect problems and individual car misassembled problems. On average, I think a used car is a car that has been debugged under warranty by someone else with its design critiqued collectively. The discount for the possibility that the last owner was in the bottom 20% seems to not take into account the positive aspects of a car that is at least 2 years old, 80% of the time.
