For me it's one year. I won't buy anything that's not in the market for more than one full year.

Not all new models are unreliable though.

Re: Most Ideal Time To Buy A Car During Its' Life-Cycle?
No, of course! But I wouldn't take the risk. Even if the car has a guarantee, it's annoying to have problems.

Furthermore, there are often little changes made to the car, little details improved in response to customers remarks.

So it's, for me, better to wait at least one year.

Re: Most ideal time to buy a car during its' life-cycle???
If you can wait, then buy it when the FL comes out because all the kinks are usually worked out and you get more standard features. Can't beat that.
