And as I said before, it depends on what you define appeal as. Attractiveness, or pragmatism. You cited pragmatism.

Buying used or new does effect what vehicles are available at a certain price point. The pool of used vehicles is likely much wider and varied, than restricting the choice to only cars being offered as new today.
BTW I wasn't trying to zing you It is just easier to read short posts.

It seemed you were implying that by buying a used vehicle a person could suddenly buy a more appealing vehicle at the expense of pragmatism. I was just pointing out that it doesn't necessarily change things. Used car buyers still might buy boring bland vehicles for reasons such as those mentioned.

However it is certainly possible that the price differential on a more appealing vehicle new/used could be greater than a less appealing one. I just did not see you making that argument.
