I buy 6-7 years old around with around 100k miles. A car that was $40k will sell for $15k of less. Saves so much money that I can easily put new interior, upgraded entertainment, new wheels etc and still come out way ahead. Cars made in the last 2 decades by most manufacturers tend to be very reliable, even well past the 200k miles mark. As for maintenance, just find a trustworthy Indy mechanic and never go back to a dealer again. Compared to family that always leases a new car, there really isn't much difference in repair downtime. New cars tend to have a lot of bugs to work out that have already been addressed in a well used car.
