I vote buy new. The used market is frickin stupid
Agreed. Used car prices are absurd right now. It'll be cheaper if you find something at like a mom-and-pop used lot, but it's still likely to be absurd comparatively. Certified from dealerships, used are virtually the same price as new right now. It's unfortunately just a rough time to buy a car.
All of that said, I'd suggest the Hyundai Kona if she was a fan of the Vibe. Fun subcompact with some personality.
Carvana is probably your best used bet because it opens up a larger market, but still no reason to go used. Just get the new whip and enjoy. If you made the Vibe last that long youll prolly make a new Subi or Honda last forever.
