I have a buddy that swears the opposite, he would never buy a new car, but he's a car guy and can fix most things.
anyways the only car i've ever bought was used (94 corolla, 200k+ on it) and its lasted me almost 5 years, though it has needed some repairs (nothing major) so i would buy used again, though something newer. my next car i would like to be between 2 and 5 years old, still in good shape but not new. the assertion that a car 2 years old is the best value to buy as a used car makes alot of sense to me. buying a new car is mostly for the peace of mind knowing its history and the mental enjoyment of buying it 'new', financially it can still make sense, but is not usually preferable in my opinion
