you also are not buying new off the showroom.

Even CPO is a crap shoot at selling after a few years of use and mileage for what you bought it for.

“Gently” used, IE 1-3 years 25-65Kmi AT the time of sale, is the only shot in hell at making it happen. And thats finding a steal of a car. Normal car that is. NOT a collector type car.
