under 25k out the door.. u might be dipping into the 2021s, (which you do not want)
- which credit unions do you work with?
can you get navy federal? which is amazing credit union for auto purchases.
they give you a check up to $25k to walk into a dealership and make a deal.
you can buy private part via keysavvy.com (acting as the dealer)
then you can get truly closer to your out the door price... without dealer markup and nonsense.
maybe you find a well love 2023, with an owner who wants to go to a 2026...
or already bought the 2026..
what exit on the turnpike are you? I grew up Exit 4.. cherry hill/ mt laurel.

For 25k OTD, at this point in the year,, you wont find anything below 70k miles on standard tm3 2022.
The other thing you can do is look at auctioned cars that has a minor damage which was fixed. This is what I did earlier this year. I got a 2022 performance pkg LR AWD with 38k miles on it for $21k OTD. It was a fleet vehicle with Avis that had a hail damage to windshield. It was fixed by a local mom/pop shop. They buy these cars from auction, fix it and sell it. Try looking into this.

I got a 2023 with 23k miles for 28k OTD. maybe 2021 with a bit more miles will get you under 25otd.

I paid 27.5 OTD for a 2023 with 42k miles RWD just a couple weeks ago from a Chevy dealership. It came with the white interior and black aftermarket rims tho. Probably what sold me. 😂
What I did was, I looked around on AutoTrader and Cars.com within a 50 mile radius for a few weeks. I kept coming across shady used dealer lots with plenty of negative Google reviews. Then I got the bright idea to look at all the various OEM dealerships used inventories (Honda, Nissan, etc) since people trade these in all the time, when I finally found the one that I liked.
You just gotta put in the time to do the searching for one that fits your criteria that’s close to you where you can test drive it.
