You could have bought a 3 year old car that was still under warranty. You would have saved a ton of money and still had good reliability.

Not necessarily. There are certain makes/models that hold value so well (deservedly or not) that the prices of used models that are 2-3 years old is within $1500 of an equivalent new model from the same manufacturer, which would have the advantage of a better warrantee && no miles on the tires.
