There are different kinds of risk.
When I got my Jaguar in 2015 time was important to me, I wanted something that wouldn't need downtime from needing work. Even if that work was paid for under warranty, I didn't want to make the trips to the dealer(s).
A new car has higher risk in that respect than a modern used car. Especially a new model.
Used car won out.
However, the financial risk of running without a warranty plays as a counter.
The potential for more problems , but they are paid for by the manufacturer, vs being on the hook for them.
