Does it make sense to purchase certified preowned Toyota Camry if the 2025 Camrys are only a few thousand more?

For example, I’ve been offered a 2021 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE with around 46000 mpg for a little over $29K OTD. A brand new 2025 Toyota Camry SE would be about $35-$36k, so I’m essentially spending a little less for an older car with more miles in it.

As a first time car buyer, does it make sense to go with the certified preowned rather than going new? Should I get something a little older, hoping the car market would be more stable than it is now.

I will also be paying fully with cash for the vehicle.
