Buying new will always send a signal to manufacturing to produce more (very slight since it's only 1 more unit), so buying new is never the best environmental (or financial) choice.
Environmentally, probably a used EV if it fulfills your requirements. If not, a plug-in hybrid.
I always buy used phones for my wife. She's rough on them, so about the time she breaks the charging port its 4 years old. I'll jump on Ebay and grab a 1 generation old Pixel XL for $150 rather than the $900 it was new.
Other electronics are too affordable to not get new. Bought a new 75" 4k TV last Black Friday for $400. Nobody is going to sell a used one for that little. Same with laptops.
