  After the “cash for clunkers” thing reduced the used car market buying new made more sense because of price and warranty. You also get better financing rates on new vs used. Bought my Subaru new in 2019 and could sell it for about what I paid.

    To be fair, luxury cars are notorious for not holding their value. Unless by “luxury” you mean performance cars.
