<prompt> Human: So my old vehicle that I had for 15 years got totalled when a neighbour backed into it when it was parked in the street. Anyways I am looking for a newnewer to me truck. A used truck in the 20-25K range I could pay cash for, new I would have to borrow or lease. This would be a workfamily truck as well so I would be writing it of for Income tax purposes.The problem I have is that the trucks I am looking at are in the 40,000-50,000 range new but used ones are fairly close to new price with factory rebates etc... . If I get a truck a little more used in the 100,000 km range the price drops to 25,000 to 30,000, but the price is still close to 23 of new with no warranty remaining and close to half its life gone. Once they get to the 200,000 km range they seem like they cant give them away, so maybe thats the route I should be going, but again the new ones are so much nicer. So a couple of questions, how does buying a relatively new used vehicle make sense when it is so close in price to new. Secondly how to you manage to resist the lure of new, the new vehicles seems so much nicer than used ones, nicer interiors etc... I know it should never make sense to buy new and I never have, but how does it not make sense when used is so close to new in price. Its just a struggle I have with being cheapfrugal but wanting the best.  <response>: It sounds like youre looking at used vehicles on a dealer lot try looking privately.
