Buying a new car never really made sense to me even when you could afford it. 2 - 3 year old model is effectively brand new but a lot cheaper. Why pay more if you can pay less?

    I've always heard this, but where is this actually true? When I bought a Camry like a decade ago, I could get a brand new one for $19.5k or used ones with 50k miles on them for....$18k. so yeah I paid the extra 1.5k to not have to deal with potential random shit.

    When my wife bought her car a few years ago it was a similar situation. The only used cars that were "a lot cheaper" had like 100k miles.
