[quote=Anonymous]Hi there.  I'm driving an almost-17-year-old Acura TSX and I think I'm finally ready to make the leap and replace it.  (It still runs great and has 130k-ish miles, but I get nervous driving it any kind of distance, which makes beach trips, etc. kind of tough.)

I was initially looking at certified pre-owned 2017 TLXs but now I'm wondering if it makes more sense just to buy a 2020 model.  The price differential is only about $5K, and they're offering really good financing on either one.  It would be about $100/month difference over the life of a 60-month loan.  The Acura dealership where I bought my current one has a new one in a good color combo and sub-5k miles.  Other local dealerships have a few 2017's ranging from $19k-$23k and 20k-33k miles.

Typically I like the idea of letting the original buyer take the depreciation for me, but when the cost differential is that small and I'm looking to keep the car for pretty much forever, does it make sense to buy new?
