Understandable, I was more wondering why they had no choice to go buy a brand new one at retail+. I've heard this statement a few times over this period. Kind of the same sentiment as the overuse of the word 'need' to justify purchases.
As for used cars, I have been commonly in the ~$5000 sector, but only because I'm not scared to do pretty much anything mechanically and have been really fortunate not to take on a major engine or transmission issue. Good vetting I guess. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.
My son bought a brand new Elantra and I was fully supportive because a) he lives 1600 km away and b) he can barely use a tire pressure gauge much less a wrench. (I tried, his talent turns out to be music not mechanics.)
