Would you rather have a new 2015 Honda Accord Sport or a used 2010 Lexus GS350?

Since I'm going to college soon, as a graduation gift my mom gave me the option of choosing the new Honda Accord Sport or her 2010 Lexus GS350. I've driven her car a couple of times, and it's a really nice car, she bought it fully loaded with a bunch of packages and options when she got it and its, so its obviously the better car then the Accord. But the thing is, is that its used and her car has about 55k miles on it. Either way she's going to upgrade to a 2015 GS 350. She told if she were to trade it in, it would around $22k, which is pretty close to a new Accord. What would you choose?

None of the above.

but the accord is NEW its going to last longer without expensive repairs. And the older a luxury car gets the more expensive repairs are.

Buy new, get smart, THEN buy the dream car

Personally, I would rather have a new car with a warranty than a used car.

A brand new car comes with a full manufacturer's warranty, Lemon Law protection, possibly some free maintenance, new safety and tech features, and of course that wonderful new-car smell. Take the Honda.
