I think right about the perfect time to buy a car is after the initial 5 year break in - preferably with someone else doing the break in.


That makes me feel better.. I bought a 2006 Accord last November with 70k miles on it for $11,350.


That's exactly how you should do it.

05 GTI turbo new? ~$18,000

05 GTI turbo when I bought it with 97k miles, all dealer maintained? $9k

Environmental reasons aside, buying used vehicles in good shape is an excellent way to judge reliability. The 5 year break in period not only provides a prospective used car buyer with a good idea of reliability, but it also allows you a great gap of time for TSB's and recalls to pop up, so you know exactly what you're getting.
