I cant justify paying 10-15K more for something with 5-10K miles less on it.
Let someone else depreciate the value, and I will only ever buy certified pre-owned since they come with what's basically the same as a new car warranty for the most part.
Yeah, but then you're getting into BS stealership markups, even when you play hardball. I'm a big fan of buying private party but asking for a pretty lengthy paper trail and going over it pretty thoroughly myself to look for any major issues.
Honestly, the only way I will probably ever buy from a dealership ever again is new, in cash, at the end of the month, at the end of their fiscal year, and when a lot of incentives are going on. You can literally walk in and lowball the hell out of them with cash and just walk out the door if they say no. Usually they call you back in pretty quickly or stop you and accept your offer as you're trying to leave.
