<prompt> Human: I have lived in Europe for two years now, but am moving back to the states in a couple months. While in Europe I had a beater car I funneled lots of money into, and doing this has motivated me to buy a brand new car once I get back to states. With my job I can easily afford it and fit it into my budget. But is is smarter to just obtain a pre-certified?  <response>: Always buy a car that has been driven before... Let the sucker take the hit on depreciation, and drive off in a just fine 2 year old car.
