Only if you let yourself get bamboozled by these guys. Research the car you want. Personally, I'd rather buy a car no older than three years from an individual seller and I have been successful in getting a fair price. If it's a win win for buyer and seller, then it's all good.
It's time consuming but it's worth it. By the way, I keep my cars for a long time (10 + years) and I make sure to maintain them regularly. The car looks good and a pleasure to drive; doesn't matter how old it is. It's cheaper to do that than to pay over inflated prices for a vehicle to take you from point A to point B the same as the one you own now.
