Mostly just wanted to point out that there are two numbers that drive how many new cars are sold:
1) Increase in total number of vehicles in use (relatively level 2008-2013, a quick google didn't find newer data)
2) Old vehicles taken off the road being replaced by new ones
The net effect of a particular person buying a slightly used car over a new one is basically nothing. The big picture only changes when people are choosing to keep an old car on the road for longer.
