You say that but there are Toyotas with 100k miles and 15 years old selling for 4k off MSRP of a brand-new vehicle. Which is to say way above original MSRP.

In pure maintenance consumable items alone - it's a bad deal. It's so a bad deal when you take consideration that new cars can have half the interest rate of a new one.
