You have bought into the lie that buying used is better than buying new.

That is not true.

IF you saved 35-40 percent, then you saved it off of MSRP.

And nobody pays that.

In the long run... buying new is the better way to go.

There's no way anybody is going to get 35% below MSRP on a brand new Camry. Plus interest. But a year old one with 20k miles, I was satisfied.

It's a Camry, not a Cobalt.

I bought my last car (actually two cars ago) for $1200. It was a 1984 Toyota Supra in nice condition with 140,000 miles. I drove that thing for 5 years and did only basic maintenance on it (except for the timing belt which I did myself). There is no way a new car could come close to that kind bang for buck.
