I've never bought a new one

Need more details What kind of car ? And what would you be planning to do with it??

It really depends on the car and the mileage driven on it… some cars have much longer lifetimes…

Never had a new car, and I’ve had quite a lot of cars. Service history and proof of maintenance is all you need in my view. I don’t see any reason to buy new

Used cars are great if they are Toyota and don't have rust.
