Is it better to get the last model year ?

Two sides of the coin, you always want the last year of a particular model before it is redesigned. Due to the fact that the manufacture has had a few years to worked out all the bugs in the current design. But I would buy a new model if it has the better features you have been waiting on and or a bigger engine. It all comes down to the timing of your purchase. Can you wait or need a vehicle now?

It also depends on your buying habits. If you're like me and keep a vehicle forever until the wheels fall off buy the old body style. You'll get a better price because the Dealer is anxious to get rid of it to make room for the new models. But if you trade in a vehicle every few years or so get the new body style. It will hold it's value longer and you'll get a lot more for it at trade in time! Hope that helps! Jim

In general the newer car is better but not always. Sometimes updates take away what people want in a car. Do your research and see which model you prefer.
