Anecdotally people that buy new don't drive 200k on their car. If you do then
Buying new is probably a better idea.

Hardly anyone does these days. Everyone leases which allows the auto industry to keep churning out vehicles.

I don't. But that is what the industry pushes.

I'm curious what percentage of vehicles less than 5 years old are owned (even if not fully paid for) vs leased

Not sure what the number is, but I'm looking at cars right now and I get tired of getting the lease pitch

I leased a truck a long time ago. Haggled with them for like 6 hours until the sum of the lease payments plus the price

Leasing is the same as buying as far as price paid and depreciation

what? don't think this is true at all--something more like 30%! Other 70% buy

We bought a car new 10 years ago. Because it is a single owner car, there

No - we’ll keep it for several more years, I think

You can save about half buying a used Honda Odyssey versus a new.

I prefer not to have debt/lease. More financial freedom.

That's an economic principle. If you're strictly concerned with $ don't buy

That concept doesn't make sense to me on many levels

Agreed. It doesn't make financial sense usually, but that isn't the only factor
Baron

Agree - it's a luxury purchase, just like vacations and eating out

I buy new. Leased once, never again.

Our new cars have lasted over 200k miles. Our used cars were disasters.

I value the new car smell. Worth the extra 9K.

Assuming a new car costs $30k, you will not be able to find a 1 year old version
