Should I buy lightly used?

[WandaCC]

Hi everyone, new to these cars but have convinced myself I want one and have found my perfect spec on a lightly used example.

FYI I want a Green Hakone Ed.

The car is a 2025 with a couple thousand miles. I did plan on a new one but this came up.

My hesitation is that I was planning to buy new and break in the engine very carefully - I'm getting that these engines require some care and attention to remain healthy - and of course as this one has been owned for so short a period that it may have been abused.
One also worries a little when a car was traded in so soon.

I would love to hear some opinions regarding how much of a deal breaker that may or may not be for you good folks!

I bought mine used with under 4k miles, and it’s been solid—no regrets so far. If credit’s a concern, I had some issues too and checked out bad credit car dealers Las Vegas had to offer. A couple of them were actually helpful with approvals and didn’t jack up the price too much. Might be worth at least checking inventory without committing right away.
