I only new because buying new means I do not have to worry about its history, it comes with manufacturer warranty.
Buying used is rolling the dice on whether I end up with a Hangar Queen demanding attention I don't want to give.
Time is money, as the saying goes. Buying new is more expensive, but it's cheaper in the long run with the time and money I did not have to waste on unexpected upkeep.

It depends. We tend to buy three year old cars and on the whole they have all the niggles resolved by then. After that they don't start having problems until at least 100,000 miles. So we pay half the price for no extra aggravation.
I won’t buy a new phone let alone a new car.
