If you can find used in the same condition as new, no rock chips, wear or tear, then yes the used is worth more than new for the following reasons.
1) you can see, touch and drive, previous owner took all the shipping and installation risk
2) the bugs have been sorted, it was at his inconvience to get it back to the installer, personnal mechanic or himself. The original owner time is not free
3) the car is titled so that hurdle has been crossed, you simple transfer the title and you are good to go.
4) if local you do not pay shipping etc,
5) you dont get nickel and dimed after the fact when the engine and trans are getting installed and the comment, "well it will work with that but we recommend this, and it is only $$$$$ more.

The other question, seems like there are two kinds of sellers out there. One selling for about the cost of a new one and the other with an extra $20k on the price. What's the difference?
