<prompt> Human: In the market for a new car and going back and forth between purchasing a new car or getting a certified pre-owned car because of the longer warranty. Looking at new 2018 Honda Pilot vs CPO 2017 Honda pilot w 7yr100k mi powertrain warranty - also looking at this specifically because im a big guy and its comfy for me to driveI currently have a 2014 FOrd Fusion that i will most likely sell to carmax or sell privately and then use that money to clear out a credit card that currently has 8k balance. I thought about throwing this on a down payment but figured it would be better used on a card instead. So back to getting a car... some of the CPO 2017s are in the same ballpark price wise as the new 2018s...but then again APR on used cars are a bit higher than new... so would a new car still be bad financially?  <response>: A car that you use to commute isnt an investment. It is a tool that enables you to do your job.
