Buy Used or New?

I'm in the used club, eyes wide open. You can get a sense by interior, rock/paint chips and tire condition if still on the originals. Bought my pristine 09 with 8700 miles and got 1.99 financing, well under 30k. They are realible, near exact same option content and I still had over a year of factory warranty left. Hard to see much risk in that.

on the flip side, I had to replace my diesel truck this yr due to an interior fire..... used truck market is soooooo strong here that made much more sense to get a decent new leftover.

Also on certified cars you get a 100k drive train warranty for free. Stock is 3/36 isn't it?

No, new drivetrain is 5/60 or 6/60. Everything else is 3/36
