What Should I Buy?QuestionCommunity Starter

Anyone else: CPO luxury SUV or brand-new mainstream SUV?

Budget works for either a lightly used luxury SUV or a new mainstream model with a full warranty. I'm more worried about three-to-five-year ownership cost and service downtime than the purchase price. How would you compare them? Any data points from owners would help. What am I missing?

Coming back with numbers — insurance in Detroit changed the 2022 Tesla Model 3 comparison more than the sale price did. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: Ask for out-the-door on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “cpo luxury suv or brand-new mainstream suv,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I asked for the buyer’s order in email, not a text.
