The only time buying new makes sense is when the new car price equals the slightly used price - which is entirely possible if you shop hard enough; it also makes sense to buy new if you keep your cars a long time.
Otherwise, buying used is always the ticket, and if you buy something almost new with very low miles, and keep it a long time - you've made the best deal.
