Go with a used car and you'll get more equity out of it and can trade it in for a new car if and when things return to sanity.

When prices go up they don’t come back down to sane levels. You just get to pay 30k for a used piece of shit and 60k for a new piece of shit.

I bought a 2019 in 2022 and it was 40% less than what the owner paid in 2019.
