So at this point you're a couple grand cheaper to buy a car that's about to be 4 model years old. Regardless of the miles the resale on the 12 will make up that difference, if you want one more reason there's the entire warranty left on the new car; if you buy a used car warranty with 3/36K bumper to bumper no deductible it'll cost a couple grand.
