>It might cost a little more up front but I haven’t had to fix anything on my last 3 cars

Buy once, cry once. I really don't want to buy the second half of a car's life, when everything's going to fail anyway, and what doesn't fail is tired.

CPO is a good compromise on age, price and condition.

Used cars aren't lemons, and the Massachusetts used car lemon law is a joke.
For used cars under 40k miles, it covers 90 days or 3750 miles.
For used cars 40k to 80k miles, it covers 60 days or 2500 miles.
For used cars 80k to 125k miles, it covers 30 days or 1250 miles.

Basically, if it passes inspection and got an oil change recently, nothing should go wrong over the next few tanks of gas anyway. Seriously- it's just as likely to die on a test drive as it is in the next couple thousand miles, if it were in that bad shape, no dealer would want to have it on the lot.

I disagree with this, all four of my honda accords have outlasted my parents Toyotas by several thousand miles. All of my accords have gone past 300k before I moved on. Not saying Toyotas aren't right there with them, they were also cheap reliable cars but I personally would vote honda over Toyota by just a little bit.
