Looking at 3 vehicles to replace my aging, rusted out Focus (170,000) miles. I was looking at a VW Taos brand new, for 30,000 (would either lease or finance) but the guy told me I can get all the same features in that VW Taos (driver assists, Apple CarPlay, etc.) for a 2018 VW Tiguan with 45,000 miles on it, it's going for 24,000. There is also a Cadillac ATS, 2017 (have to check mileage again Monday, but it appears to be at 50,000 - 60,000). That's going for 27,000 and is mid-level luxury car.

lower mileage always better imo, would only go a little high if a toyota or hondo

Get a bike and an Uber account, you'll save money and probably add more years to your lifespan

With money you're talking why wouldn't you look at an Accord, Camry or used Lexus.
IMHO
100% NO on a used Cadillac
Lease the new WV

Just walk bro. It’s good exercise. Stop being lazy man.
Correct me if im wrong here, but isnt the fed about to begin a stream of interst rate increases to combat inflation?
If so, then now would seem like the best time to (refinance/newly finance) everything before the central fed's lending rate to its partner institutions increases. That same rate should migrate its way to bussiness and consumer debt, similar to how due to fed action, it was normal to have double digit home lending interest rates during the horrible inflation of the 70s and 80s.
this even here in the U.K. the used car market is all fukked up
I need a car now though, I was going to wait until the summer but I spent more on the last 3 months in repairs on my cars that I could've used that as a down payment. It's just timing, how was I to know that it would start to crap out on me now.
