ParticipantI’d say it’s pretty close unless you buy used from a private party. The dealers mark those used cars up quite a bit now (the ones with the 100 point inspection, certified and all that.)
When I bought my Accord 2 years ago, there were actually certifed used vehicles with 30K miles on them that had higher asking prices than the new price I paid.
Pre-tax price on the car was about 19,500.
I found a couple used ones from private parties for 15K or 16K with 30K miles on them, and lots of used ones with 30K miles or more from private parties in the 17K – 19K range, and several used ones from dealers in the 17K-21K range.
So, I went new. I had a similar experience recently when I was looking (never bought) for a Mazda3. I’d say buy new or buy used from a private party, but that’s me. Buying used from a dealer seems oddly overpriced in my experience.
October is a better time to buy. Wait for 2010 models to come out, then shop for a new 2009.

ParticipantDang. Didn’t feel it in Clairemont. I love earthquakes. I have a fascination with powerful physical forces – earthquakes, battlebots, and drag racers are my favorites. I just wish earthquakes didn’t kill people so I wouldn’t feel so bad enjoying them. I was in Palo Alto duing Loma Prieta and here in SD during Northridge. Loma Prieta was awesome. All of my framed photos were leaned up against the wall, waiting to be hung. You could tell the direction of travel because all of those leaning towards the epicenter had fallen, while those on the perpendicular walls were still in place.

ParticipantCheck into buying a car through the Costco program before you decide on used.
Right now, it may be possible that dealers regular prices are lower than their costco prices, but it’s always a good idea to check.
