2021 Hyundai Palisade — reliable cheap first car or newer car with warranty?

RotorCommuter84Community StarterMay 20, 20262021 Hyundai Palisade LimitedCalifornia
2021 Hyundai Palisade Limited, about 105,500 miles. I am trying to balance purchase price against downtime and surprise repairs. Would you put the same budget into an older proven car with cash left over, or a newer car with warranty coverage? I am in California. I am trying not to assume the first explanation I see online.

Quick update: a second 2021 Hyundai Palisade quote made the first offer look ordinary. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Title status is the whole conversation. Meet at a bank or dealer title office for the 2021 Hyundai Palisade, not a parking lot at night. That's where I'd start. That's the sequence I'd use. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.
