We ended up buying a pre-owned largely because we found something we liked, with a lot we loved, in a great location, with lots of extras like beautiful landscaping, solar tubes, attic stairs, etc. It also was very reasonably priced with bond paid. It finally came down to a decision between a 1 yo CYV and the CYV we bought that is about 15 yo. We got more for our money with the older one plus we liked the stucco wall instead of the vinyl fence.
The houses and villas I've seen in TV are all very well built, so I don't think there is much danger in buying an older unit. We went over everything carefully with the inspector though.
