I suggest going for off-lease or rental fleet vehicles. They shouldn’t have either of the issues you mentioned, especially if you get one that is still covered by the manufacturer warranty. I bought two cars new, and with all the recalls and factory defects, (and ignoring price and depreciation) they were way worse than the used ones I’ve had experience with.
