re: Spinoff thread: What do you consider getting ripped off when buying a car?

LOL, some people can't think for themselves.

Everyone knows the benefits of buying new vs buying used. There are situations where buying new is the right move for the customer. Some cars hold their value extremely well. Or you can buy a lemon that ends up breaking down every other month. We've all seen both situations. You can make good new car purchases and poor used car purchases.

To answer the OP, I don't think there's such a thing as getting ripped off as long as comfortable during the buying process and you're buying within your means.
