You find a good deal on a somewhat newer vehicle and the question that immediately comes to my mind: "Why did the original seller sell it in the first place?"
I personally find the sweet spot to be to buy new and then drive it for 4 to 8 years. Trade out before the residual value craters and maintenance and upkeep becomes significant.
A car payment is predictable. A major driveline failure or some other nagging issue is not.

I have bought ONE USED car. It is my 2015 MDX. Still running great. It was not really used...it was used by Acura dealer as a loaner car...so we bought an Acura dealership loaner.
