You misunderstand, I think. This should be titled as "Ask HN: [your question or prompt here]".
I ended up creating a new post with "Ask HN" in the title. Didn't know the ropes. We learn everyday.
I wouldn't buy a used dildo.
Seriously though, there are strata, like with any product. You are asking a question without enough information.
You seem like a bot harvesting information or someone surveying the space in the wrong forum.
I am not a bot. I have fixed the title.
With ICE cars? OK, perhaps. With BEV cars? No, no, no. Also, no.
You can buy an insanely great BEV for 40% of retail after it's gone off lease after 2-3 years. Everyone is concerned about battery life, but it'll have years to go.
I'm not going to be interviewed for the segment, but I have personally bought a like-new, just-off-lease BEV for a fraction of the retail price of the car and it is really very good.
That's an interesting take. I know you said you're not looking to be interviewed, but could you tell me how recently you bought the BEV? Also, at a fraction of the retail price after 2 to 3 years; couldn't have been a Tesla. Was it a Tesla?

Mind telling us which media outlet, before we provide your content for free?
Wow. Free content? Don't write an article, professor. If you recently navigated the car market, be a dear and share your story. Or don't.

Even a low quality new car is $35k. The price of used cars has skyrocketed. Also most people have realized that cars made more than a decade ago are of better quality than new cars are arriving today
Did you make a purchase recently?
