Used GS all the way. Its a WAY nicer car, I don't care if somebody else farted in it first. At 30k you are still looking at a 4 cylinder Camry. The Lexus GS just feels that sort of special when you step in it, the interior design is pretty damn cool and very high quality IMO.

i could speculate about owning a 2030 car in 2032 but who knows what else will be available... i know you think you're getting a better deal because you've avoided the higher initial depreciation, but you're still driving a used car and won't benefit from new advances. i get that many don't care, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

I think you get what you pay for, and a brand new car is better than a cheaper 2 year old used car.
After 2 years, the price has fallen, but there is also progress in technology, plus: progressive deterioration of the paintwork, "fatigue" fractures, and progressive loosening of screws and body parts - developing in an used car.
The same develops in an used apartment or house, but because buildings are static rather than dynamic, buildings are exposed to relatively lower forces, hence building deterioration and ageing is much slower, hence the depreciation of a property is much slower too.
However, I find that this topic draws just as much debate as Canon vs Nikon, apartment vs house, sedan vs SUV, ICEV vs EV, gasoline vs diesel, atmospheric vs turbo, Microsoft vs Apple, Android vs iPhone, and shares vs property - so I let people do & choose whatever they like...

If you wait for a year or 2 before buying a 2018 Camry, there will be more advanced cars available by that time. If you want the 2018 Camry but do not want to pay the new-car price, wait for a few months when low-mileage executive demos are being offered for sale.
