Does it make sense to buy a $15k or $16k certified car or just buy new?

I want a car with certified warranty to avoid any headaches/issues down the road, looking at 2012-2014 Honda Civics at the dealership certified and they have a lot of them for as low as $14k to $16k, I found a decent one for $15k that has around 30-50k miles but I could get a 2017 Hyundai elantra which has an MSRP of $17,150...I imagine the most it would cost would be $18k-$19k so is that a better bargain? via /r/cars http://ift.tt/2uLeZoc
