Depends on the cost of new vs used..extra warranty on new, and cheaper monthly rates on new compared to used.
Financially, depending on the cars being compared it can actually be cheaper in the long run to buy new instead of used.
Every comparison I've ever seen puts the new car as far, far more expensive than used.
Do two cars have to be different models and different years? Can it work out to compare the same trim level of the same car, and have the new one cost less overall than the used one?
I've never figured for any warranty in my car buying, so I'm playing a whole different ballgame here. I just go by advertised price, average gas milage, and how expensive is it when it breaks?
