EVERY used car was once a new car. How many times do you think a car gets sold? Perhaps 3 or 4 including the original new sale? If so then 25 percent of car sales are new car sales. Another thing to consider is the resale price of a car. With an old used car you may think you'll drive it until it's used up and junk it, while the previous owners kept it until it was "used up" in the sense that they sell it and get some money for it.
Sure new cars are generally over prices, but TCO is still an important consideration.
