Get the used car.
There’s rarely any point in buying a brand new car given how quickly they depreciate.

Used car

New car if it has more/better features, and the mileage on the old one is high
Mileage is an important consideration assuming both come with similar options.

I would get it used. Prestige and premium plus are trim levels and prestige is top of the line for trim levels. The Q5 got a facelift for 2021 but IMO it’s not worth buying new for this facelift. I have a 19 SQ5 prestige that I bought used off lease in February 20. Let someone else take the 30k hit.

Need more information but usually better used. What are both cars? How long do you plan to hold it for?
Mileage in the broader sense as already mentioned, but be sure to check tires, oil etc.
The additional repairs can cost a ton.

Usually used. What kind of car? How much debt do you have?
Buying a 3 year old car off a lease is a great compromise between brand new and saving money!

Nope not offended! Just reminding folks that some people return a leased car with 5k miles on it, others return it with 60k miles. Since OP provided no details on the situation, I’m letting them know that this compromise does have a few factors to consider
Which one is more reliable and do you keep cars until they stop working or do you trade them in often? The answer usually, get the used car.
What car? This is far too little information to give informed advice. Does the used car still have manufacturer warranty? How many miles does it have? Does it have a bunch of scheduled services coming up? Are those services expensive?

Depends highly on mileage and expected depreciation of the new car.
