    People who buy new are wild to me. I can afford a new car, or I could just buy a car that’s only a few years old with low mileage and save a ton of money. Seems like a no brainer to me.

      Depends on when. There have been many times in the past 20 years that “low mileage” cars are only a couple thousand less than new, and some rare cases during the pandemic where used was more than new, cause new didn’t exist.

      Even now depending on where you live, you have to get a fairly used car to get a significant discount.

      There are very few electric cars available used, which severely limits my options if I want to be responsible with an automobile purchase.
