Agreed on camera bodies and lenses, but in my view a 2011 car is still quite new. I guess this depends on the country, taxation etc.
IMHO it makes sense to buy a used car at about 300 thousand kilometers. At that point it's cheap, it's already had a bunch of expensive parts replaced, and if it's survived this long it has a high chance of going another hundred thousand (given proper service, obviously).
Of course another point of view is that getting a car serviced is stressful, so it's best to buy new. But then it's even less stressful to mostly ride a bike and use a taxi or rental car when needed.
