a used car is not the same as a beater. Getting a used car that is just a few years old will shave off a good chunk of the depreciation curve in many cases without sacrificing features/reliability.
This is correct - don't buy cars new, esp. if you're not using it as a status symbol. a low milage (but new-ish) used car is much better value for money.
This is nonsense. So someone is going to buy a brand new car and then sell it at an enormous loss shortly after? The cost of the reliability and modern features has to be paid by someone and it doesn’t make any sense to assume that someone else is essentially going to pay for you by taking that loss. When people sell used cars it’s usually because there’s something wrong with it.
Yea, you can find nice used cars but it’s a crap shoot and not everyone has the time to wait around and look for that one car.
