Our last couple of trucks were bought roughly 1 year old with just shy of 10,000 miles. We saved a lot of $$ that way. More features that at the time I thought were all gimmicks but now we love them. During the Covid days everything went crazy and used cars were at a premium. I think things are pretty much back to normal now. Just FYI, we usually run our vehicles till they're almost dead. My last purchase was in early 2020 beofre Covid really got going. My 2002 Avalanche was on her way out, but I hated to see her go.
Sometimes, there are better deals on 0% or near 0% financing on new if that's something of interest.
