I don't really have time to completely wrap my head around the entire concept, but I agree with a good chunk of what you've presented. But I don't think that a line can be drawn between the two. In situations where you're looking at 5 year old cars with nearly 100k, then yeah, of course it's a bigger financial risk.
However, when you're looking at 1-3 year old cars with sub 30k miles, then I think you're looking at a better idea to buy used. With proper research and evaluation of the car, you can find out enough about it's history to be comfortable buying it.
