If you’re asking a question like this, I’m surmising that you aren’t the diy backyard mechanic type. So any issues will be out of pocket and retail cost to have repaired. And there WILL be repairs, regardless of how good the vehicle is. That’s why used ones cost way less than new ones. And the propensity for needed repairs (aside from “known” issues) is a mostly direct function of the vehicles history, use, abuse, maintenance etc, which can be hard to determine by non “car people.”
At $10k vs $60-80k, I can pay retail for a lot of expensive repairs and come out way ahead.
Of course, my experience is there isn't a major amount of repairs.
