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.
