Yeah, you said that before, but it doesn't make any sense to me. If you won't buy a car with 10-20k miles on it, are you going to dump your new car when it gets 10-20k on it? That might be within 20 weeks, the way you drive. The depreciation the first year makes a used car a deal that can't be refused, if you care about getting a good deal.
If you won't drive any car with 10-20k on it because you're afraid that it will be in the shop all the time (a notion which seems unfounded to me), then you have to apply the same logic to the next new car you get.
Getting a used car saves you enough money to pay for gas for 2-4 years (depending on the car).
