This seems disingenuous. Privacy concerns are valid, but you can get a new car (Ford Maverick) for $25k. The hybrid powertrain would only be $1k more, for an ~40% reduction in fuel consumption
Also, why tf does it even need to be new?
That’s come outta nowhere.
When used prices are not significantly lower, it is hard to make that choice over new with a manufacuturer's warranty.
Used prices are ridiculous now.
Horse shit. 15k gets you a solid car with Android Auto and driver safety.

Add on 1700 to get a 5 year CarMax warranty which is just as good as a CPO.
$15k for a 7 year old Hyundai with 96k on it. That's a waste of money.
🙄👌👍
They're right, though.
Whatever you say 🤷♂️
I guess y'all are too good for a warrantied drivetrain with a bucket load of features.
A seven year old car with almost 100k miles at about 50% of brand new is ridiculous.
