No such thing as a free lunch, but it still works out cheaper than the depreciation on buying a brand new car and doing the trade to a newer one a year or two later than it would be if you did so with a used car to begin with.
Everything is relative though. The RRP for my BRZ A/T with leather seats is around $45,000 AUD drive away ie no more to pay. Our two markets are very different and the taxes, registration fee's insurance etc can be quite different, even with second hand. My apologies perhaps it might be more expensive in your part of the world than mine, hence your trepidation over whether to commit to the purchase now or wait.
Registration, on roads, plates and all I think was no more than $1500 AUD here new or used. Someone might need to correct me if I'm wrong though. I'm privileged to have never bought used so lack the personal experience.
