honestly, I considered getting a vehicle that was like 2 or 3 years old with decent mileage, but there wasn't a whole lot available that I trusted - and most, at least around me, are previously leased vehicles which are generally abused because they were leased - I just didnt wanna deal with another headache.
It took me a while to come to the amount I was willing to spend and finance and while I'm not thrilled about payiing (ultimately) more for the car than it's worth, it's an evil that I couldn't avoid. Toyotas are pretty much the leaders when it comes to resale value, even 10 years later so I do have some comfort in that knowledge - of course with my luck, in 10 years electric hybrids will all be the rage and I'll be fucked.
