Cheapest one on there right now is $7995 but I saw one not long ago at $6995.

Seriously you have to have smartphone and a OBDII adapter so you can check the battery status before buying a used one but you can easily save $10K or so buying a used one.
To be honest, I didn't even check used prices. Most new models of cars seem to have super high resale value until they are 6-10 years old or have a second generation released. A quick scan of my local craigslist shows about a dozen for under $10k. That's a lot more of a drop than I had expected.

Will still take many years to recoup the costs compared to the Civic though...
