Though the easier repairability in older beaters is a clear advantage, and some can be fixed with just one hand while the other holds the beer, I could actually consider buying some entry-level subcompact brand-new, but I would then commit myself to keep it long term or eventually handing it to some cousins in the countryside if for some reason (i.e. buying a motorcycle that could adjust better to the majority of my needs) the car becomes redundant to me.
