New or used car if it's to be driven little?

I have a general question. I was talking about this with my wife.

If you saw yourself driving a car only ~5K miles a year, and needed to replace your current car for whatever reason, does it make more sense (in any or every way) to buy new, or buy used because you wont ever really get the car to really high mileage?

In our case, we were discussing what would replace the 9-2X if we needed something larger and the options were a new (or almost) new Outback LL Bean, or a 2001-2002 E320 E320 4Matic wagon with say 40K miles.
