Your dad's a smart man. Always, always, always let someone else take that first year or two of depreciation. Back in May 2009, we bought my wife a 2009 Impala that was used and had 7K miles on it but it was GM-certified (extra 12 mo./12K mile warranty). We saved ~$10K and have more warranty than if we'd have bought a new Impala. Automobile depreciation is one of the biggest wealth wasters of middle-class Americans. Make sure you're on the good end of that depreciation.
