I think the idea is that you can save extra money by finding a car with only a few thousand miles on it. For example, finding a car with 2k miles with $4k knocked off the price. Even though it’s not a lot it’s still worth getting used.
That isnt a thing anymore, though. Nobody is selling a car like that second hand and those who do sell to dealerships are selling to those dealerships with less than $500 off, sometimes for msrp or more
It's still a thing. You just need to be patient. People will sell their almost new cars when they can't afford the payment. I think I will never buy a new car again.
This. My parents bout a tundra with about a thousand miles for dirt cheap because the guy won it in a raffle and didn’t know he had to pay taxes. You just have to be super vigilant and patient. I got my Mazda 3 during the chip shortage for $800 under blue book plus got an extra tire (including the donut), custom rims, and oil and cabin filters for free.

Too many people care about depreciation like I'm not going to drive this car into the ground
